iMPACT Booster is an accelerator for entrepreneurs with an innovative product or service, which they want to implement in an emerging economy. The goal of the iMPACT Booster is accelerate innovation in the agri/food and water for food sector, which will impact the lives of thousands living at the base of the pyramide in emerging economies. We believe we can face the enormous challenges of global food production through smart, innovative, game-changing business. 

We need impact. To counter the shortage in our global food production over the coming years, we will need major innovations in the agricultural sector and in emerging economies in particular. We believe there are great innovations out there that can make a major impact and disrupt the current agricultural sector and commonly known business models.
Great ideas need great support.
