Youth Entrepreneurs in Ghana, by Skylink Agro Solutions Ltd

Our AgProTech program ( first of its kind) is intended to create 12,000 young entrepreneurs along the cassava value chain in Ghana through;

1. AgProTech Apprenticeship Program 
Skylink is co-authoring a youth apprenticeship curriculum for a new industry sector named AgProTech in conjunction with Azania. The AgProTech program will equip individuals with the requisite skills and advanced knowledge required to excel in the cassava industry.  The program's structure encompasses training in sustainable farming, closed loop supply chains, biotechnology, bioscience, and food science. Skylink has also joined forces with primary, secondary, and higher education institutions to integrate this advanced programming into the curriculum and upskill youth more rapidly.

2. AgProTech Business Accelerator
Skylink is establishing a Hubspace to nurture a fresh cohort of agribusiness pioneers. Hubspaces support an entire ecosystem with the tools and equipment necessary for exploration, capacity building and proof-of-concept.  They are safe, creative places that support imaginative design, engineering, technology, research, and development. They provide coaching and SME support for supply chain development and market exposure for partners near and abroad who want to participate in innovation at low cost.

3. Vendor Franchises
Skylink is solidifying its market position by empowering enterprises to deliver our MVP to the target customers through diverse sales channels. Our goal is to broaden our market reach by collaborating with The Artisan Hub to distribute our products through the following channels:
a. Food&Feed is a B2B franchise specializing in organic foods and animal feed, catering to the closed loop supply chain sector. It will cater to wholesalers and retailers offering cash and carry services, with a focus on suburban and rural markets.
b. Food Farm is an organic food franchise designed for mobile vendors and local stores, targeting urban markets. This franchise model is aimed at entrepreneurs, microbusinesses, and small businesses.
