Apply for Ignite 2021 – Guzakuza. Ignite 2021 is the 5th edition. Since 2016, Ignite has been nurturing and turning ground-breaking ideas into profitable and sustainable Agribusinesses. 2021 is the beginning of a new era. For 4 months (September to December), Igniters will be on the journey of igniting the Agri-fire in their bellies. The theme for 2021 is Rethink. Reinvent. ReFire!

After the pandemic, businesses are unable to continue to do 21st-century businesses with 20th-century models and strategies. There are numerous women-led small businesses collapsing due to this pandemic and it is time to RETHINK, REINVENT and REFIRE!
