SAIS invites early-stage African tech start-ups with a functioning MVP to apply to its 2027 Livestock & Aquaculture Investment Readiness Programme, focused on East African dairy and West African aquaculture. It offers coaching, expert access, investor connections and an in-kind grant of up to €15,000.
Submissions are reviewed on a rolling basis against the criteria below. SAIGE captures your intent to apply — linking this opportunity to your business profile — before handing you off to SAIS (Scaling Agriculture Innovations through Start-ups), implemented by GIZ on behalf of Germany's BMZ’s official application. This keeps your activity in one place and helps us surface better matches over time.
