You may be a strong fit if…
- Emerging entrepreneurs in the cashew sector
- Individuals seeking to scale climate-smart agribusiness ideas
- Applicants ready to complete mandatory e-learning courses on atingi
What should you think carefully about?

How could this fit your current goals and plans?
This opportunity is ideal for those looking to bridge the gap between theoretical business knowledge and practical, investment-ready execution.

Our take
Entrepreneurs with a concrete, innovative idea for the cashew value chain should apply; those who have not yet engaged with the required atingi coursework will need to prioritize that training before the October deadline.
