The Kosmos Innovation Center (KIC) has conducted an induction for Executives of the KIC Fellowship to provide networking within the entrepreneurship ecosystem for all alumni from its programs.
It includes those from programs such as the AgriTech Challenge Classic, Pro, Business Incubation and Business Booster programs.
This initiative seeks to unite KIC Fellows to capitalise on the myriad of opportunities available for young people in the agricultural sector.
After a selection process for the KIC Fellowship executives, the orientation for all executives, responsible for managing the KIC Fellowship across the country, took place in July 2024.
This orientation was meticulously designed to ensure ownership and active participation by the Fellows.
During the orientation, several critical topics were covered such as an overview of the KIC Fellowship’s objectives, mission, and vision; an explanation of the fellowship structure and the key roles of representatives; training on the safeguarding policy, KIC brand, and communication guidelines, among others.
The session concluded with the KIC Fellowship Representative Oath of Office, solidifying the commitment of the executives to their new roles.
The Fellowship Program marks a significant step forward in uniting young agripreneurs and leveraging their collective potential to drive innovation in the agricultural sector.
By fostering mentorship and providing a robust support system, KIC aims to create a dynamic network of empowered individuals who can lead the way in sustainable agricultural development.
Through this initiative, KIC continues to demonstrate its dedication to nurturing the next generation of agricultural leaders, ensuring that they have the skills, knowledge, and resources to succeed and make a meaningful impact in their communities.
Speaking at the induction ceremony, Benjamin Gyan-Kesse, Executive Director for Kosmos Innovation Center said, “KIC is committed to your growth journey as entrepreneurs and start-ups.
"As Fellows, you represent a network of entrepreneurs across the country and your efforts at bringing them together to ensure continued engagement, exchange of ideas and networking will help to further grow and build your respective businesses, and start-ups and provide key insights on the business landscape.”
Experienced Fellows, who have already established successful agribusiness ventures, will be engaged as mentors.
Their role is to guide and support young and upcoming Fellows, fostering an environment of knowledge sharing and skills development.
Working together with partners like the Mastercard Foundation, Kosmos Innovation Center is committed to promoting entrepreneurial development to provide employment opportunities for young people within the agricultural sector.
Through KIC’s initiatives, more than 18,000 young people have been trained in entrepreneurship.
