CGIAR is a global research partnership for a food-secure future, whose science is carried out by 13 CGIAR Centers in close collaboration with hundreds of partners. The CGIAR Accelerate for Impact Platform (A4IP) is the venture space that leverages CGIAR's legacy in research and innovation to co-design, accelerate, and de-risk the development and deployment of science-based technology-driven solutions for sustainable agriculture and climate action. A4IP pioneers entrepreneurial models that bridge research products from lab to market, create demand for CGIAR science, and strengthen its function in the innovation ecosystem. The initiative plays a catalytic role for entrepreneurial scientists, start-ups, and other strategic partners driving agri-, food-, and climate-tech innovation to make our agrifood systems healthier, more equitable, and more sustainable. A4IP is an initiative powered by the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT; a CGIAR research center.
