Applications Open for The 2022 KIC AgriTech Challenge Classic

The Kosmos Innovation Centre (KIC) is investing in the future by supporting innovators turning today's problems into tomorrow's opportunities. We are on a mission to scale innovations that apply commercial solutions to key development challenges, starting with agriculture - the largets sector in Ghana and Africa's economy.

We have successfully invested in hundreds of young entrepreneurs and small businesses who have transformative ideas and want to see their country grow. We achieved this through tailored coaching, skills building, expert mentorship, seed funding, and facilitating connections within and across industries. We are expanding our efforts across Africa and powering the future of the continent, one entrepreneur at a time.

The Kosmos Innovation Center started in Ghana in 2016. Our program has focused on empowering young men and women to drive innovation in agriculture, the country's largets employer, and training them to lead sustainable, successful businesses. To date, we have trained more than 600 young people across the program and have nurtured some of the most promising youth driven AgriTech startups in Ghana today.
