BASATINE (Bolstering Agriculture Systems’ Ability to Invest, Nourish, and Employ) is a 4-year programme aiming to sustain the capacity of Lebanese agriculture to produce food for the local market, create and maintain jobs, generate social cohesion between host communities and refugees, as well as promote gender impartiality.
Berytech has announced that applications for the special edition of its Agrytech Accelerator Program are now open for technological solutions in the agriculture and food sector.
So far, the 39 innovators have helped more than 55,0000 smallholder farmers and other end-users produce more than 250,000 tons of food while saving more than 43 million kWh of energy. Of the end-users supported by WE4F, more than 17,000 end-users had increased incomes in the MENA region.
In a report published by Startup Genome, a world-leading policy advisory and research organization for public and private organizations, Berytech and it’s Agrytech Program were named in the top Agtech players in the MENA region.
Over three days, on June 10, 11 and 12, the Diverting Waste by Encouraging Reuse and Recycling (DAWERR) activity, funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), is launching in collaboration with Berytech the second edition of the Ideathon.
Berytech is organizing the NEX-LABS Summer School, a regional entrepreneurship 5-day intensive program that allows entrepreneurs and startups to turn their innovations in the Water Food Energy (WEF) Nexus sector into potential startups and explore commercialization opportunities.
QOOT is now an independent NGO registered under the number 1477. This ensures the cluster’s sustainability, allowing it to grow on its own led by its own members while opening doors for fundraising and new opportunities.
Berytech wraps up another cycle of the Agrytech Accelerator Program with a Demo Session for the eight startups who have completed the third and last phase of the program.
WEEL will provide between 8 and 20 MSMEs and startups with grants that vary from 15,000 to 50,000 Euros to be used for investments, covering expenditures, and getting technical assistance to strengthen and grow their businesses despite the challenging political, economic, and social environment in Lebanon.
Berytech, in partnership with Anima Investment Network, launched the ‘Scale-up Voucher for Clusters’ offering a technical assistance voucher with a value of 9,000 Euros that will be used to assist regional clusters in developing their growth strategy and expanding business opportunities for their cluster members.
