Proposals can be submitted in the following two categories:
Category 1
Proposals aimed at strengthening youth engagement and entrepreneurship in strategic food commodity value chains.
They will favour the consolidation of agro-food cooperatives or companies led by young people, or the creation of innovative agro-entrepreneurial mechanisms for the benefit of youths.
Category 2
Proposals aimed at implementing the “AgriHack Talent” programme at national or regional level, with a focus on value chain development, regional trade or climate change adaptation for strategic food commodities.

It encompasses a series of activities at the heart of which a hackathon or coding competition is organised, followed by capacity building, entrepreneurship support in ICT and agriculture business, as well as promotion of the products developed. Proposals may include other activities, or may not include all activities of the model.
For both categories, successful applicants will receive grants ranging from EUR 30 000 to 100 000.
