Rolling quarterly intakes for African agritech startups
A UNDP timbuktoo programme, hosted by the AgriTech Hub in Ghana with support from the Government of Japan, admitting agritech startups into a distributed pan-African incubation network.
Use when
You run an African agritech startup and want structured incubation plus a route to matched angel funding.
Skip when
You are outside agriculture and food systems, or you need a direct cash grant rather than incubation.
Status (8 Sep 2026): applications are accepted on a rolling basis with quarterly cohorts - the first intake was May 2026 and subsequent groups follow every three months, so a window is normally close. Selected startups join the timbuktoo Pan-African Incubation Network of incubators, innovation hubs, mentors and investors. Focus: solutions strengthening agricultural productivity, food systems, farmer incomes and climate-resilient agriculture. timbuktoo-incubated startups can unlock 1:1 matching funds from Catalytic Africa alongside business angel investment.
