Throughout the event, you'll get support from top-notch mentors and experts in both the tech and agriculture sectors, who will guide you from ideation to a working prototype.
The event will culminate in a pitch session, where teams will present their innovative solutions to a panel of judges and investors. The best teams will be awarded prizes and opportunities to take their projects to the next level.
Green Growth AgriHack Uganda 2024 is inspired by the success of previous hackathons like Garage48's "Tech for Agriculture 2018." This year, we’re raising the bar, challenging you to develop solutions that enhance agricultural productivity and promote environmental sustainability.
