AGRInnova II Program For Agriprenuer 2026

About

A funding program offering up to $150,000 for partnerships between agribusinesses in Latin America or the Caribbean and Israeli technology providers focused on climate-smart agriculture solutions. Participants will benefit from substantial financial support, enhanced resource efficiency, and access to a global network of agricultural experts and investors.

Benefits

• 💰Substantial Risk Mitigation
  Capital grants dramatically lower the financial risk of testing unproven technologies in new environments, funding the vast majority of the pilot framework.
• 📈Targeted Productivity Gains
  Agribusinesses unlock direct pathways to maximize crop yields, protect assets through early pest and disease detection, and integrate advanced automation and farm digitalization.
• 🌱Enhanced Resource Efficiency
  Partners receive the tools necessary to optimize critical inputs, resulting in reduced water usage, minimized energy footprints, and healthier soil profiles.
• 🌐Ecosystem Exposure
  Beyond funding, participating organizations gain valuable visibility and connection opportunities across a massive global network of institutional investors, agricultural experts, and development professionals.
