ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The GROW Impact Accelerator is GROW's flagship accelerator programme designed to open new markets for international startups looking to expand into Asia, and for regional startups to launch on the global stage
Delivered entirely virtually, the five-month programme primary focus was two-fold:
1) sharpening teams' growth strategies and helping them scale aggressively into new markets; and
2) guiding the teams through AgFunder & GROW's own frameworks for impact measurement, and integrating them into each team's process.
We focused on startups operating in new frontiers of agtech and foodtech, teams who were changing the future of food while tackling the world’s biggest challenges of sustainability.

Meet the GROW Impact Accelerator 2021 cohort! Representing some of the most promising technological innovations for the food and agriculture sectors, our 2021 cohort was selected from 270 applications from 58 countries. Seven out of the 10 teams have female founders.
