Future Agro Challenge

Future Agro Challenge (FAC) is a global competition that discovers innovate fundable food and agribusiness startups from various corners of the globe addressing national, regional and global challenges.  FAC provides key tools and opportunities to help them grow their business and expand them into new markets.  FAC, a featured event of Global Entrepreneurship Week, is working to make a difference on a global level by increasing interaction amongst agro innovators, entrepreneurs, and stakeholders by addressing national policies and challenges.

There is not one simple solution to any of the complex global challenges of feeding the estimated growing population of 9 billion people by 2050.  FAC was ignited in Greece, at the crossing of three continents, is rich in diversity in both wild and cultivated plant species, has developed its botanical and agricultural practices for millennia, and the source of the famous Mediterranean diet, and has grown into a global competition. As FAC takes root in each joining nation, the knowledge base is enriched with a transfer of ideas and solutions. Each nation and region brings a new perspective, having overcome different obstacles and offering different facets of innovation.

While disruptive solutions are being created across regions, individuals and visionaries often feel overwhelmed by the complexities to integrate in the agricultural ecosystem.

We believe discovering solutions to global challenges should not be so complicated.

The winner of competition in Kyrgyzstan will have an opportunity to participate in global competition to be held in Athens, Greece. Event is to be held on June 20-12, 2015 in Uglovoy coworking space located on 116 Panfilov street, Bishkek, Kyrgyz Republic.
