Cultivate Africa is an event organized by the Africa Union Commission in partnership with Hallpax. Its main objective is to unlock a concerted multi-stakeholder partnership toward a sustained and effective response to potential adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on food security and nutrition and food systems. Against this backdrop, GIZ and Mercy Corps AgriFin invite to the side session “Scaling AgTech Innovation through Digital Platforms”, which will give insights on how technology innovators in the agriculture sector in Africa can be supported in scale and operational viability by engaging with emerging models of digital platforms in order to maximise impact for smallholder farmers.
