The Agrifood Investment Connector (Connector) of the ClimateShot Investor Coalition (CLIC) is inviting applications from agriculture and food SMEs in Latin America and the Caribbean with high climate, nature, and biodiversity potential.

Who is eligible to apply?
Early-or growth-stage, post-revenue, agriculture and food enterprises with their main operations in Latin America and the Caribbean are eligible for the program. We encourage SMEs that are ready to scale, seeking commercial capital, and integrating climate- and nature-positive practices in their operations to apply.

What does the Connector offer?
Selected agribusinesses will receive technical assistance across two key areas:
– Investment facilitation: direct connections to relevant investors, exposure at in-person and virtual pitching events, expert review of investor-facing materials, and other bespoke support
– Impact assessment: a comprehensive climate and nature impact and risk assessment report, and support to integrate this information into their business narratives and pitch proposals

The Connector will be hosting an information and Q&A session for interested candidates, which will cover the application process, eligibility and selection criteria, program timeline, and much more. Participants will have the opportunity to submit questions and hear from our alumni in Sub-Saharan Africa.
