Impact-focused investor Katapult Africa has opened applications for its 2026 accelerator programme, offering $150,000 to $500,000 in direct investment to African startups developing solutions for agriculture, food systems and climate resilience.
The 90-day accelerator targets early-growth and scaling companies using technology to address food security, climate adaptation and sustainable agriculture challenges across the continent. Selected startups will also receive hands-on operational support and access to Katapult Africa’s global investor and partner network.
Katapult Africa said the programme is designed to help founders strengthen growth strategies, improve investor readiness and scale measurable environmental and social impact, as pressure on Africa’s food systems intensifies due to climate change.
The accelerator will focus on startups operating in AgriTech, climate-smart agriculture, sustainable food production, climate resilience and environmental technologies. Applicants are expected to demonstrate scalable business models, strong founding teams and clear impact potential.
Beyond funding, participating companies will receive expert-led workshops, tailored business and impact support, and guidance on governance and fundraising.
Applications for the Katapult Africa Accelerator 2026 are now open and can be submitted online here. The programme will run for 90 days.
