SBN Nourish Nigeria Challenge: NutriPitch 2023
By Ted Iwere
The Scaling Up Nutrition Business Network (SBN) is hosting the 2023 Edition of SBN’s Annual pitch competition in partnership with FATE Foundation.
The project is a Business Model Research project and is part of a larger programme grant of EUR80m focused on six African countries (Benin, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, and Uganda)
This partnership aims to identify innovative business models that are focused on accelerating low-income consumer’s access to nutritious food while being profitable; that is, the approach that can enable a company to capture value (and thus be profitable) while still providing the food at a price the customers are able and willing to pay.
In addition, the project will provide technical assistance to entrepreneurs in the nutrition space to strengthen their capacity and develop their business models leveraging innovation to improve access to nutritious foods in Nigeria.
