Empowering rural agritech startups from strategy to execution
Where is FERNLab?
As part of the upcoming FERNLab, our team will provide intensive technical help and support to rural agritech businesses as they build their projects beyond minimum viable product stage (MVP).
Through the FERNLab initiative, we’ve teamed up with global leaders in groundbreaking finance and business development, including our February tie-up with Solid World DAO, situated out of Estonia. With these partnerships, and our growing cohort of brilliant mentors and business development specialists, we believe we are the right team to take your business to market.
How we work
We partner with specialists in each field to make an interesting and actionable business programme possible in the remotest of environments that provide opportunities for group learning and further cross-pollination with different teams in the annual cohort.
Who we work with
The FERNLab initiative works with businesses and mentors that have a variety of foundational elements already in place.
Our sites offer high-speed internet connectivity
State-of-the-art modelling software and in “hyper-connected” areas despite being rural.
Moving agritech forward
“To be interested in food but not interested in food production is clearly absurd".
