The launch will be opened by DDG Maurizio Martina highlighting the importance of agri-SMEs and important role of women entrepreneurs, followed by RAF ADG Mr. Abebe Haile Gabriele.  

The key part of the launch event is the presentation of Mentees, how their businesses contribute to fostering innovation within their ecosystems. A mentee from past cohorts will show how the Accelerator programme has supported their business ventures, and the ones of the upcoming cohort will speak about their expectations and present their businesses.  The final input will be delivered by a mentor pointing out the need for the support of women-led businesses.
