Singapore's first global agtech and foodtech accelerator, founded by AgFunder and Rocket Seeder
Applications are now open for Cohort #1
commencing 9 September 20
GROW is a new AgriFood Technology Accelerator located in Singapore and launched by AgFunder, the online venture capital investor and Rocket Seeder, the Australian agrifood accelerator.
GROW provides a unique value proposition to local, regional and international agtech and foodtech startups and will support growth in the Singapore and ASEAN agrifood ecosystem
Food security is an important issue in Singapore, as it currently imports more than 90 per cent of it’s food supply. This year, the government has set an ambitious target of having 30 per cent of Singapore’s nutritional needs produced locally by 2030. This is known as the “30 by 30” strategy. GROW will assist the government to achieve this goal, by supporting 100 agrifood tech startups and scaleups over the next 5 years.
THE GROW ACCELERATOR PROGRAM
Startups taking part in the GROW program who are at an early stage will leave with refined business models, a developed MVP, identified and targeted customers, and prepared to get funded for the next stage of their development.
Because our accelerator is also open to global entrepreneurs wanting to take advantage of Singapore’s unique position as the world’s most competitive economy, GROW will also offer a more tailored program to later stage companies (scaleups) to help them grow rapidly and to gain access to new markets, new customers and new investors.
