What is SAIS?

SAIS stands for “Scaling digital Agriculture Innovations through Start-ups” and is a project implemented by the  Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ GmbH) on behalf of the German Federal Ministry  for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). It is co-funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and  the Bayer Cares Foundation. 

We are a company development and accelerator programme for African Tech start-ups in the agriculture, food,  and climate sectors. Start-ups and their solutions are a central pathway to contribute to the Sustainable  Development Goals (SDGs). 

We offer annual Investment Readiness Programmes (IRPs) in English, French, and for the livestock sector.
