AU-Startups

Seven Kenyan women-led startups just secured KES 9 million in equity-free grants, each receiving KES 1.29 million. This funding follows a 12-week accelerator, but the real story is how this non-dilutive capital enables product development in sectors like agritech and accessible edutech where traditional VC often overlooks early-stage, impact-focused businesses.

Taking the stage at Act&Go - VentureLab here in Liège to pitch FarmLedger was an incredible milestone and an energizing reminder of why building in agritech requires both grassroots insight and robust technical execution. FarmLedger started with a direct mission: creating verifiable, data-backed profiles for smallholder producers to bridge the agricultural credit gap and establish transparent supply chains. We’ve validated the core workflow and have our functional prototype in place. Pitching the project to the Liège ecosystem marked the start of the next phase: scaling the technology, refining the platform for enterprise readiness, and preparing for European market integration. To turn this prototype into an enterprise-grade platform capable of operating across international agricultural supply chains, we need exceptional builders. Clean architecture, offline capability, data security, and verifiable data pipelines will be the backbone of everything we deploy next. I’m looking to connect with software engineers interested in building high-impact agritech infrastructure: Full-Stack &Backend Engineers: Deep comfort with scalable API development, relational/document data models, and microservices architecture. Mobile & Frontend Developers: Experience creating lightweight, offline-first mobile and progressive web applications tailored for diverse operational environments. Data Engineers & Verification Specialists: Background in event-driven pipelines, secure data exchanges, or immutable ledger/audit trail implementations. Whether you're looking to collaborate, contribute early technical direction, or discuss the architectural challenges of smallholder fintech, I’d love to connect. If you’re a builder based in Belgium, India or anywhere in the world, driven by using technology to solve systemic supply chain and financing challenges, let’s grab a coffee in Liège or jump on a call.

Gusii Innovation Week

📍GIW 2026 Pre-Hackathon Problem Mapping Recap A hackathon can bring together great technical talent, but the quality of what gets built depends heavily on how well the problem is understood. This was the focus of the GIW 2026 Pre-Hackathon Problem Mapping Workshop: to establish a clearer understanding of the agricultural challenges that innovators will be expected to respond to during the upcoming AgriTech AI Hackathon. The workshop brought together local community members, agricultural value-chain actors, developers, partners and the Fie_Labs team. Instead of defining challenges from a technology perspective, the discussions started with the experiences of people working within the value chains. Participants worked in groups to examine specific value chains, identify recurring problems and discuss where these challenges occur and who they affect. The group presentations then provided an opportunity to compare perspectives and bring the different observations into a clearer set of problem areas. An important part of the process was the interaction between developers and community members. Through the participation of GDG Kisii, developers joined the group discussions and heard directly from people experiencing these challenges. This helped connect technical thinking with the practical realities that potential solutions will need to address. The discussions also included strong participation from women, whose perspectives are particularly important in understanding agricultural production, markets and household-level realities. Bringing different voices into the mapping process helped broaden the understanding of each problem beyond a single point of view. The workshop therefore produced more than a list of challenges. It created an important link between community knowledge, value-chain experience and technical capability. The insights from the workshop will now inform the challenge areas that participating innovators will engage with at the GIW 2026 AgriTech AI Hackathon. The problems have been mapped. The next step is turning them into practical solutions. 📍 Join us at GIW 2026 to see what comes next. #GIW2026 #GusiiInnovationWeek #FieLabs #AgriTech #AgriTechAI #Innovation #FoodSystems #GDGKisii #KisiiUniversity

Et si un déchet agro-industriel pouvait devenir une ressource pour produire davantage ? C'est autour de cette question que s'inscrit une nouvelle étape importante vers mon parcours scientifique. Je suis heureux d'annoncer la publication, le 28 septembre 2026, de notre article dans Compost Science & Utilization, une revue internationale publiée par Taylor & Francis. Titre : Effect of Composts Derived from Neem (Azadirachta indica) Fruit Processing Residues on Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) Growth and Yield under Greenhouse Conditions. Dans cette étude, nous nous sommes intéressés aux résidus de la transformation des fruits de neem, qui peuvent constituer une problématique de gestion des déchets, mais également une ressource potentielle pour l'agriculture. Nous avons produit différents composts à partir de ces résidus, seuls ou en co-compostage avec du fumier de bovin, puis évalué leur qualité physico-chimique et leur effet sur la croissance et le rendement de la tomate en conditions de serre. Un résultat particulièrement intéressant: Le co-compostage avec le fumier de bovin a permis d'améliorer la teneur en azote des composts et de réduire leur rapport C/N. Parmi les traitements étudiés, le compost à base de boues de neem + fumier de bovin a donné les meilleures performances agronomiques avec : 18,33 ± 1,53 fruits par plante et 100,83 ± 1,60 g de poids moyen par fruit. Ces résultats montrent le potentiel de la valorisation des résidus de neem par compostage pour produire des amendements organiques présentant un intérêt agronomique pour les systèmes de production maraîchère. Plus largement, ce travail s'inscrit dans une vision qui m'est particulièrement chère : passer d'une logique de gestion des déchets à une logique de valorisation des ressources, en créant des solutions adaptées aux réalités agricoles locales. Cette publication représente également une étape importante dans mes travaux de recherche sur la valorisation des déchets agricoles et agro-industriels, le compostage et les technologies de transformation des biomasses en ressources utiles pour l'agriculture. Je remercie sincèrement mes co-auteurs Yao Félicité Amenuti et Yawo Amen Nenonene, ainsi que toutes les personnes qui ont contribué, directement ou indirectement, à la réalisation de ce travail. L'article est disponible ici : https://lnkd.in/dnBUQ8Yp Je serais ravi d'échanger avec les chercheurs, agronomes, producteurs, entrepreneurs et acteurs du développement qui travaillent sur la valorisation des déchets organiques, le compostage, la fertilité des sols et l'agriculture durable.

A farm plan is only useful when it can actually be implemented. At Ladel Agritech, our work goes beyond making recommendations. We work across the agricultural development process — from assessing the production objective and designing the appropriate system, to construction, installation, crop establishment and technical support. This matters because agricultural infrastructure has to work within the realities of the farm. A greenhouse has to suit the crop and production objective. An irrigation system has to match the available water. A kitchen garden has to be practical for the people managing it. And a farm development plan has to make sense beyond the drawing. Our focus is therefore on developing practical, implementable agricultural systems that can operate in real farm conditions. From the first assessment to implementation, we are building agriculture with the field in mind. #LadelAgritech #FarmDevelopment #AgriculturalEngineering #Agronomy #Agribusiness #GreenhouseFarming #AgriculturalInnovation #Kenya
