These events are designed to provide participants with hands-on experience and specialized knowledge in technology transfer, business development, and intellectual property management. Through interactive sessions, these workshops help equip local entrepreneurs with the tools and skills necessary to succeed in the agri-business sector.
As part of its outreach efforts, the RAISE Program organizes events to highlight the region’s innovations, products, and technologies. These promotional activities help connect local businesses with wider markets, attract potential investors, and promote the region’s strengths in agriculture and aquaculture.
Aimed at identifying and supporting innovative ideas, the RAISE Program’s pitching competitions offer a platform for entrepreneurs to present their technologies and business concepts to a panel of experts, investors, and potential partners. These events foster creativity, provide visibility for emerging technologies, and support the commercialization of regional innovations.
