Start-up Take-off
From idea to first customers
Launching a business is equal parts excitement and uncertainty. The Start-up Take-off Programme is designed for founders and entrepreneurial teams who want to move from a promising idea to a market-ready business.
Through a structured mix of workshops and mentoring, participants receive guidance in clarifying their vision, defining their value proposition, and building the first sales and management structures. Together, we explore customer orientation, market entry strategies, and financial viability, ensuring that your idea can stand firm in the realities of agribusiness.
By the end of the programme, you will have a sharpened business model, a tested market approach, and the foundations for a customer-focused organisation that can grow sustainably.
