AYuTe NextGen gathering serves as a vibrant platform within the AYuTe Africa NextGen initiative by Heifer International. The 2025 edition, scheduled for June 17th - 19th, 2025, at the Speke Resort and Conference Center, Munyonyo, Uganda, will be a dynamic event themed “AgTech Generation Rising”.
The conference will feature bold, youth-led conversations and solution-driven panels, envisioning an agricultural future shaped by a new generation of tech-enabled innovators. Attendees can also explore an immersive expo showcasing cutting-edge innovations in agritech and agribusiness.
A major highlight is the AYuTe NextGen Regional Competition Finale, where standout agritech innovators will pitch solutions in three key areas: Access to Markets, Access to Finance and Climate-Smart Agriculture—all aimed at unlocking scalable solutions for Africa’s smallholder farmers.
Through collaborative dialogue, experiential learning and engagement, AYuTe Next Gen encapsulates the vitality of African youth, the spirit of innovation, and the empowerment of young people. This convergence of elements aims to catalyze prosperity for smallholder farmers while fostering sustainable growth in agriculture across the continent.
