CultivAid AgriTech Platform
Field‑validated, farmer‑adopted, market‑integrated in Kenya • Tanzania • Zambia
CultivAid’s Agricultural Innovation and Technology Centers (AITEC) are living laboratories that bridge research, demonstration, and market integration. Located in Kenya, Tanzania, and Zambia, these centers drive agricultural innovation through a systems-based approach that links technology development with farmer adoption and commercial scaling.
Through the Agri Tech Platform, AITEC serves as a regional launchpad for agricultural technologies, from early-stage startups to established ag-tech firms. The platform provides a structured, field-based mechanism to validate, adapt, and scale innovations within real farming systems.
Using a three-phase model, technologies are tested under local conditions, refined through farmer field trials, and integrated into market-driven agri-clusters.
The result: proven solutions that increase productivity, strengthen resilience, and create sustainable market opportunities for farmers.
