Agripreneurship Support Centre
Business incubation, coaching and technical training for Ghana’s next generation of agripreneurs.
About / Mission
The Agripreneurship Support Centre (ASC) provides business incubation, coaching, mentorship, and demand-driven technical training to young agripreneurs, including AAMUSTED students and other young people within its catchment area. The ASC draws on expertise from AAMUSTED and consortium partners to deliver entrepreneurship support and technical short courses that respond to real opportunities in agricultural value chains — complementing AAMUSTED’s existing ATVET programmes rather than duplicating them.
To build long-term sustainability, the ASC also pilots affordable, fee-based services alongside its incubation support, so the Centre can keep serving agripreneurs well beyond the life of this grant.
What We Offer
- Business coaching, mentorship, and advisory services.
- Business development support to strengthen enterprise ideas and operations
- Demand-driven technical short courses tailored to agricultural value chain opportunities
- Pitch competitions that connect strong ideas to transition-to-work grant support
- An annual demonstration day showcasing agripreneurs’ products, services, and innovations
- Market linkages to buyers, financiers, and industry partners
Who We Serve
The ASC provides incubation support to up to 500 young agripreneurs through structured cohorts, based on demand and identified opportunities — including AAMUSTED students and other young people across the Ashanti Region catchment area.
