Tech4Farmers: Three days of support for the 2nd cohort of AgriTech startups

From May 13 to 15, 2025, the Euromed University of Fes hosted the second Bootcamp of the program Tech4Farmers, dedicated to supporting AgriTech startups of the second cohort. Led by UEMF and supported by the French Development Agency (AFD), this program is part of the Regional Innovation and AgriTech Entrepreneurship Hub (PRIE) of the Fès-Meknès region.

Over three days, the 16 selected startups underwent intensive support to structure their business model, refine their value proposition and develop strategic connections with stakeholders in the agricultural sector.

Structuring the business model 
The first day allowed project leaders to work on the three fundamental blocks of the business model, to clearly define their value proposition and to explore different monetization approaches. An inspiring intervention by an invited entrepreneur punctuated this strategic session.

Business Plan & Partnerships
The second day was marked by a practical Business Plan workshop, a session dedicated to corporate partnerships, followed by a panel of private actors (Jodoor, Deepleaf, Domaines Zniber), who shared their vision and expectations regarding AgriTech startups. The day concluded with an interactive workshop on “The art of networking.”

Territorial anchoring and openness 
On the last day, the startups participated in working groups focused on pilot projects and operational partnerships. A regional panel with the DRA Fès-Meknès, ENA Meknès and Agrinova explored concrete opportunities for territorial deployment.

Guided by experts from UEMF, IMPACT Lab and the EIC, this bootcamp enabled the second cohort to strengthen its capacities and forge essential links for implementing AgriTech solutions adapted to Moroccan field realities.
