In partnership with Beanstalk AgTech and IFAD, Grow Asia has launched the Grow Asia Innovation Challenge. With generous support from Korea’s Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs, this initiative aims to bring climate-smart innovations and digital solutions to smallholder farmers across Southeast Asia.

Why This Matters

Southeast Asia is home to over 70 million agri-SMEs, and the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon economy is crucial for the region. However, only a small fraction of these farmers have access to digital technologies. Together, Grow Asia aims to change that. By introducing scalable, market-ready digital solutions, Grow Asia can help farmers improve productivity, gain better market access, and enhance climate resilience.

Join Us in Making a Difference

If you’re passionate about leveraging technology to drive sustainability in agriculture, join the Grow Asia Innovation Challenge! 

Submit your digital solutions and become a part of this transformative journey. Selected innovators will have the chance to showcase their solutions at the Grow Asia Investment Forum on 16 October 2024 and participate in their human-centered design training programs.
