Topic: “Emerging Innovations in Agtech and Financial Institutions: A Synergy for Sustainable Growth and Development”
In recent years, the world has witnessed a remarkable convergence of agriculture, technology, and finance. Agricultural technology, or Agtech, has played a pivotal role in revolutionizing the way we cultivate, process, and distribute food and agricultural products. Simultaneously, financial institutions have been at the forefront of driving economic growth by providing the necessary capital and resources to support innovation in this sector.

Feel free to explore various aspects, such as the impact of digital platforms, smart farming techniques, blockchain applications, access to finance for agribusinesses, and the role of data analytics in optimizing agricultural productivity.
The competition is open to all undergraduates in Nigerian tertiary institutions. We encourage you to conduct thorough research, think critically, and present innovative ideas that can shape the future of agriculture and finance in Nigeria.
