FS4Africa Open Call 2: A Transformative Opportunity for Food Innovation Hubs in Cape Verde
A FS4Africa Open Call 2 for food innovation hubs This represents an unmissable opportunity for Cape Verde, a country with vast agricultural and maritime potential, but which faces significant challenges in terms of food security and optimising its value chain. This initiative, promoted by the FoodSafety4Africa project, aims to drive innovation and sustainable development in the food sector in Africa, and Cape Verde is strategically positioned to benefit greatly from this call for proposals.
Food innovation hubs are essential catalysts for the transformation of the sector, fostering collaboration between academia, industry, government and civil society. In Cape Verde, the creation and strengthening of these hubs can lead to innovative solutions for the production, processing, distribution and consumption of safe and nutritious food. From the implementation of cutting-edge technologies for smart agriculture – which optimise water use and reduce losses – to the development of new food products that make the most of local resources and increase the population’s food resilience, the possibilities are immense.
Taking part in this call for proposals could open doors to funding for projects that tackle crucial issues such as reducing food waste, improving hygiene and food safety practices throughout the entire supply chain, and promoting healthy and sustainable diets. Furthermore, the FS4Africa initiative offers more than just financial support; it provides a platform for knowledge-sharing, networking and access to international experts, enabling innovation hubs to reach their full potential.
For Cape Verde, investing in food innovation hubs means investing in the future of its food security and in sustainable economic development. It is a way of empowering farmers, entrepreneurs and researchers to create solutions tailored to local circumstances, thereby contributing to the country’s resilience in the face of climate change and fluctuations in global markets. The selected projects will have the opportunity to demonstrate the impact of innovation on improving quality of life and creating a more robust and equitable food system.
Don’t miss this opportunity to make a difference. The deadline for submitting proposals is 31 August 2026.
