FOOD SYSTEM PROGRAMME
As ORIBI Village, we believe that social entrepreneurs can help to build a more productive, efficient, inclusive, sustainable, transparent, and resilient food system by addressing three challenges: operational excellence, supply chain orchestration, and transparency.
This is why we designed the first tailor-made incubation programme supporting entrepreneurs, organizations & innovators working towards a sustainable & equitable food system.
Incubation
What is it?
Our mission is to offer key tools for social entrepreneurs in order to help them scale up quickly and have a positive impact locally and globally. We are providing a variety of services such as weekly workshops and masterclasses, mentoring sessions and a physical place to work from.
