Goumbook has opened applications for the 2026/2027 cohort of its MENA Regenerative Agriculture Venture Programme, which supports research-backed solutions addressing agricultural challenges across the region.
The programme is open worldwide to researchers, students, scientists and innovators developing science, nature-based or technological solutions relevant to MENA agriculture. Eligible projects should be working toward the proof-of-concept stage and seeking to build the business and entrepreneurial capabilities needed to scale and attract funding.
Focus areas include food and water security, soil health, biodiversity, climate adaptation and mitigation, carbon sequestration, salinity, desertification, farmer livelihoods and rural resilience.
Participants will develop regenerative agriculture and entrepreneurship skills, refine their solutions and connect with experts and mentors as they move from research toward real-world application.
Applications close on November 15, 2026. The programme is an initiative of Goumbook, in partnership with HSBC and powered by C3 – Companies Creating Change.
