AGRIiSME

THE NEW WE

AGRIiSME is an online market place, broker service and business accelerator all in one. Female ‘agri - entrepreneurs’ (farmers, aggregators, suppliers, food and/or cotton clothes retailers or SME-support) get state of the art tools and support. The focus is on creating a bottom up market in a 'gender equitable' way (making farmers materials, training, SME support, and capacity building available and appealing for women).

The platform is based on the entrepreneurscourse and the Public Private Partnership model of CERES. The entrepreneurscourse is holistic and inclusive, and is suitable for illiterate multicultural women, both in Europe and in Africa.

​Female migrants and refugees across Europe use the 2-for-1 formula and train to become entrepreneurs, together with their female friends or relatives back home.

​The meso sector, both here and in the home country, will be involved through our broad network of women organisations
, public libraries, schools, shelters, NGOs, universities and churches.

We will showcase ‘our’ entrepreneurs online. Diaspora women and their co-students easily reach each other through chat, Skype, etc. We will thus create a community of female agri entrepreneurs.

​Finally, the macro sector (agribusiness and smart tech/big data) will be included, by offering them added value processing by ‘our’ SMEs, to be obtained via a market place. Finance and micro insurance can be offered to ‘our’ entrepreneurs by selected partners, whereas ‘our’ entrepreneurs get the chance to offer their products and skills online.
