We are proud to share that GRADE A PLUS was selected as one of the 15 global finalists in the prestigious AgriTech4Egypt Innovation Challenge 2024, standing out among more than 900 applicants from 48 countries. Powered by the CGIAR Accelerate for Impact Platform (A4IP) and co-organized with Berytech, ICARDA, IWMI, and key international partners, the challenge supports scalable and sustainable agri-tech ventures tackling critical challenges in Egypt’s agricultural sector.

Throughout the five-month acceleration program, our team received expert-led business and technical training, including tailored mentorship, market research support, and investor readiness sessions. During the Demo Day on December 17, 2024, we proudly pitched our flagship innovation, SoilPlus,  an organic soil enhancer made from upcycled sheep wool, to over 120 investors, researchers, and ecosystem leaders from across the Mediterranean and MENA regions.
