Around this time last year, we launched the inaugural Youth in Agroecology Startup Competition, bringing together inspiring young innovators from across Ethiopia. After a rigorous selection process, including evaluations and live pitch competitions, Kirubel Haileselassie, Dagimawi Ameha, and the team of Hiwot Sisay & Iman Ibrahim emerged as the top three winners.
Now, the Youth in Agroecology Startup Competition 2026 is almost here!
