Ideation & Incubation for Young Startups

AgriLab is focused on enabling AgriTech Entrepreneurs to succeed.

AgriLab aims to enable young Nigerians to turn their startup ideas into full-fledged business models ready for investment.

AgriLab focuses on the agritech sector, an area where Ireland is a world leader and in which Nigeria needs to develop in order to diversify its economy and meet the demands of a fast-growing population.
