The E4Impact Foundation funded by the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation has launched Accelerator 2.0 to strengthen the enterprises in Kenya to grow their business, scale their impact, and access markets.
The E4Impact Accelerator program launched in 2018 has worked with over 300 enterprises across diverse sectors to grow their business and scale their impact through a portfolio of entrepreneurial programs and services. In the launch of the second phase of the Accelerator, E4Impact will work with 40 enterprises per year – 30 growth stage enterprises and 10 early stage enterprises and provide thefollowing services and benefits.
The goal of this training is to provide the agri-entrepreneurs with the key elements needed to evaluate the opportunity offered by biological Agri-food, its requirements and implications, how they should organize themselves to start it or to develop it.
