Fully Funded United Nations WFP Innovation Accelerator 2018 in Germany 

Fully Funded United Nations WFP Innovation Accelerator 2018 in Germany  is now accepting the application. WFP is the world’s largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide, delivering food assistance in emergencies and working with communities to improve nutrition and build resilience. WFP’s Innovation Accelerator identifies, nurtures and scales bold solutions to hunger globally. Launched in 2016, the WFP Innovation Accelerator identifies, supports and scales high potential solutions to hunger worldwide. The Accelerator is based in Munich, Germany. We support WFP intrapreneurs and external start-ups and companies through financial support, access to a network of experts and a global field reach.

The Accelerator believes the way forward in the fight against hunger is not necessarily in building grand plans, but identifying and testing solutions in an agile way.  It is a space where the world can find out what works and what doesn’t in addressing hunger – a place where we can be bold, and fail as well as succeed.
