BUILDING ON EXISTING INITIATIVES
The Agripreneurs’ Hub by Farmcity support local entrepreneurs in their journey to start and grow agri ideas. Farmcity’s support includes dedicated space for the agripreneur at the Learning Farm, in addition to a tailored mentorship program. Agripreneurs also benefit from increased exposure through Farmcity’s social media channels on Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram. The Agripreneurs’ Hub offers aspiring agripreneurs a chance to test their idea on a small scale, in a collaborative space, with like-minded agripreneurs.
Ferney Agri-Hub is an integrated and conducive agri-tech environment whose objective is for small and large agri-operators, willing to nurture sustainable agricultural practices. Home to fertile land, abundant water resources and a unique biodiversity, the Ferney Agri-Hub hosts both Agri-Entrepreneurs and large scale business operators, with the aim of creating the optimal conditions for the sharing of knowledge and resources.
For Agri-entrepreneurs specifically, the Ferney Agri-Hub provides 20Ha of dedicated land, with access to water and electricity whilst facilitating access to shared services and co-working spaces, thus reducing overhead costs and at the same time, creating a dynamic ecosystem.
AgriTECH Park
The AgriTech Park will focus on developing smart agriculture, biotech, and food security. 21 acres of land next to the University of Mauritius campus will be developed in close collaboration with the private sector, encouraging them to invest in the Park and promote research, innovation and entrepreneurial startups.
The AgriTech Park will be a valuable addition in the national food system ecosystem, inspiring students to become future agripreneurs.
