THE NESt AFRICA: FOODTECH

THE PLATFORM THAT CONNECTS AFRICA’S FOOD, BEVERAGE & MILLING INDUSTRY BUSINESS OPERATORS WITH BIG CORPORATES, SUPPLIERS, FUNDERS, EXPERTS AND OTHER NETWORKS

FOODTECH

The food industry is at the very core of the economic, social and nutritional growth of many African countries. That is why we have this sector as the foundation of the launch of The Nest Africa.

However, Africa’s scarce food resources are often wasted in the fractured supply chains, while the rate of innovations and investments to fill the rising demand for food by a population set to rise to about 2.5 billion by 2050, remains low. 

The Nest Africa FoodTech innovations platform connects young and established African food companies with big corporates, suppliers and other stakeholders and builds their capacity through business incubation, events, product development labs and training & mentorship. It further provides them with access to financial capital from the community that makes up the Hub to catalyse the sustainable growth of the sector.

The focus areas of this platform include:

  • Food products innovation

  • Food safety and quality

  • Food waste and loss management

  • Formulation and value addition of local agro produce
  • Food storage, distribution and post-harvest management
  • Food nutrition, health and wellness
  • Food processing, engineering and automation
  • Food service, catering and hospitality
  • Digitalisation and next generation technologies
