This project supports start-ups in the Agriculture, Renewable Energy and Blue Economy sectors in Kenya and Tanzania. Many new businesses in these fields face barriers such as limited funding, weak support systems and lack of international networks. The partners – Techbridge, MTI and the University of Agder – will work together to strengthen entrepreneurial skills, improve business support programmes, and share knowledge across borders. The goal is to build a stronger start-up ecosystem that helps sustainable businesses grow and succeed. At the same time, UiA will gain new insights to strengthen the international perspective in its entrepreneurship education.
