The program will gather more than 20 mentors from the country and abroad, who will use their expertise, experience, contacts and ideas to help new technological entrepreneurs to test the feasibility and sustainability of their business idea and digital solutions, and to turn their ideas and products into a sustainable business venture.

The application deadline is February 1, 2023.

The program will be implemented during a three-month course in the spring of 2023, in the period from March to June, and is intended for startups that:

• They deal with the development and implementation of innovations and IT solutions for agriculture and the food sector;
• They solve a real problem on the market by working on improving existing solutions or digitizing previously analog solutions.

Up to ten startups will be selected to participate in the program. The work will take place through two weekly workshops (live and online) held by experienced experts, and thematic meetings, meetings and other events will play a major role. In addition to mentoring support, the teams will also have scientific support from the BioSense Institute in transferring knowledge, access to necessary data sets, scientific research equipment, and/or test farms - resources that are necessary for the development of digital products.

The best teams will have the opportunity to participate in a large regional final event (Demo Day), where they will present their idea to an international audience and an international network of investors.

Applications for the third generation BioSense accelerator are open until February 1, 2023.

To apply, a pitch deck of 10 slides and a completed application are required.
