SUMMARY:AI4SU AgriTech Hackathon 2
DESCRIPTION:About AI 4 STARTUPS\nAn AI Hackathon program aimed to support AgriTech Startups to create value through data sharing and foster AI-driven innovations for agricultural sustainability in Kenya and across Africa.How it works: \n\nCo-design a challenge\nLaunch an online workshop series\nLaunch a call for an in person 3-day hacking sprint\nAward 3 grand prizes to top AI models\n\n\nAbout AI4SU Agritech Hackathon 2\nSmallholder farmers across Africa face a dual threat: increasingly unpredictable climate patterns and unstable agricultural markets. With rainfall variability\, droughts\, floods\, and volatile prices shaping every season\, farmers often lack the timely insights needed to plan\, protect their crops\, or sell at the right time. Traditional advisory systems and insurance mechanisms react too slowly\, leaving farmers exposed and underprepared. \nThis hackathon challenge invites innovators to build AI-powered\, geospatially informed intelligence tools that help farmers anticipate climate shocks\, access fairer insurance\, understand market trends\, and make better decisions in real time. Participants will explore how satellite imagery\, climate models\, weather forecasts\, and price datasets can be combined into actionable digital solutions that improve resilience and profitability for Africa’s agricultural communities. \nYou will design solutions around two key challenge areas: \n\nAI for Climate-Risk Modelling & Parametric Insurance : This challenge focuses on developing AI-enabled tools that help farmers anticipate and withstand climate-related shocks. Participants will work with satellite data\, climate models\, and weather patterns to detect early signs of drought\, flooding\, and crop stress. The goal is to build models that can generate localized climate-risk maps\, estimate the probability of crop failure\, and support the design of parametric insurance solutions that trigger payouts automatically when predefined climate thresholds are crossed. By improving the accuracy of hazard detection and reducing basis risk\, these solutions can provide farmers with faster\, fairer\, and more reliable financial protection during severe weather events.\nAI-Powered Market & Yield Intelligence: This challenge invites innovators to design AI systems that give farmers and cooperatives a clearer understanding of market trends and expected yields. Participants will explore how historical price data\, market behavior\, and remote sensing yield estimates can be combined to predict price movements\, demand fluctuations\, and potential oversupply risks. The aim is to create insights that guide farmers on the best times and places to sell their produce\, improving income and reducing post-harvest losses. These solutions should be accessible through farmer-friendly channels\, such as SMS\, WhatsApp\, or simple dashboard interfaces\, enabling users across different regions and connectivity levels to make informed\, data-driven decisions.\n\n\nEquity\, Ethics & Inclusion\nAll solutions should prioritize: \n\nAccessibility for women\, youth groups\, and low-connectivity regions.\nMultilingual and voice-friendly interfaces for farmers with varying literacy levels.\nEthical data practices\, transparency in model outputs\, and fairness across regions.\n\nParticipants must clearly explain data sources\, protect privacy\, and provide understandable interpretations of predictions or insurance triggers. \n\nBuild something that helps farmers prepare\, not just react.\nIf you’re passionate about geospatial analytics\, climate modelling\, machine learning\, or agricultural systems\, this is your chance to build high-impact solutions for real users and real challenges. \nRegistration Link

SUMMARY:The Retail Operators Investments Forum
DESCRIPTION:The Retail Operators Investment Forum\, hosted in partnership with Prometheus\, was designed for ambitious entrepreneurs running strong\, fast-moving businesses that had been positioned for scale. Held as Prometheus shifted to a batch-screened\, stage-gated\, data-driven investment model\, the workshop was created as an entry point into their upcoming investment pipeline. \nParticipants were equipped with insights into Prometheus’ inclusive micro-investment approach\, guided on how businesses could be positioned for growth\, informed on what qualified as “investment-ready\,” and given the opportunity to be shortlisted for future capital opportunities. Community retailers\, micro-franchise operators\, and fast-moving service businesses operating high-demand outlets with disciplined performance were especially suited for this session\, which had been tailored for entrepreneurs seeking structured pathways to scale or raise their first formal investment. \nEvent Registration Page
