Background
The Land Accelerator is a platform for entrepreneurs. It provides a free four-month program and curated network for entrepreneurs who restore degraded forests and farmland. It is anchored by an intensive week-long workshop when the cohort meets in person. There is no fee to join, and the program does not take equity.
It provides information on three areas: Africa, Latin America and South Asia.
Location
The Land Accelerator has been held twice in Africa and will return to Nairobi for the third time in April 2021. The program will also be launching in South Asia in December 2020 and in Latin America in February 2021.
Partners
Partners and Organizers of the Land Accelerator include the World Resource Institute, AIC-Sangam, startupindia, and IKEA foundation.
