agriculture development Katalyst Innovation Fund

Innovation is one of the driving forces in agriculture development. However, for commercially-driven businesses, innovation can be expensive and risky, which often prevents the emergence of important new ideas. That is why Katalyst has launched the Katalyst Innovation Fund (KIF), offering co-funding and technical support in order to nurture and encourage breakthrough innovations in Bangladesh’s agri-business sector:

KIF supports market actors from the private sector in developing innovative inclusive business models that deliver both commercial benefits and income-generating opportunities for small and poor farmers. We are looking for your inclusive business solutions that provide small farmers with better access to products, inputs, services, and know-how, applicable across one, several, or all sectors in which we work.

KIF is managed by the Katalyst Innovation Fund Management (IFM) team.
