22 Ground-breaking Innovation Teams 
From a total of 571 submissions from 78 countries worldwide, 22 innovation teams
with pioneering solutions to Uzbekistan’s agricultural challenges rose to the top
through a comprehensive review process. After an intensive 3-day bootcamp
offering workshops, mentorship, plenary sessions, and opportunities to engage with
like-minded innovators, a final 11 were admitted onto a fully sponsored acceleration
program. The final phase of the Innovation Challenge will then see 3 teams with
proven sustainable business models and scaling plans be awarded up to 30,000
USD in equity-free grant, post-acceleration support to accelerate go-to-market
and growth, and on-the ground experimentation of their solutions with farmers.  
This booklet shines a worthy light on the 22 ambitious teams.
