The competition is part of BRIDGE-in Agriculture, a programme funded by the Mastercard Foundation and delivered with CrossBoundary Advisory and ASH Africa.
The wider initiative seeks to improve access to capital and technical support for agricultural small and medium-sized enterprises in Ghana, while expanding economic opportunities for young people.
For young agritech founders, the funding could help finance equipment, improve operations or support growth, provided their businesses meet the eligibility criteria. However, applicants should review the official application requirements before submitting, as the grant is competitive and funding is not guaranteed.
Applications close on 9 November 2026 at 23:59 GMT. Eligible entrepreneurs can apply through the BRIDGE-in Agriculture application form. Enquiries can be directed to 030 700 0111 or 054 828 8182.
