Kaduna has a farming story that rarely makes the startup headlines. AgriSpark 2026 is trying to change that with a three-day agritech bootcamp, hackathon and pitchathon built around real problems in the agricultural value chain.
Registration runs from 7 to 17 October 2026, so the window is short. If you are a Kaduna-based founder or developer with a farm-related idea, this is a cheap way to test it in front of people who matter.
About the Programme
The programme brings founders and innovators together at GreyHobb, a co-working and innovation space on Gwari Avenue in Barnawa, Kaduna. The bootcamp and innovation challenge hold from 29 to 31 October 2026, in person.
Teams work on ideas across five focus areas: on-farm innovation, post-production and value chain, market access, agric data governance, and sustainability. The event ends with a pitchathon before industry and sector stakeholders. The flyer does not name the lead organiser, so confirm details with GreyHobb when you register.
Benefits
The winning team takes home a ₦500,000 grand prize. The top three teams also receive three months of incubation and co-working access at GreyHobb, which is worth more than it sounds when you are building without an office.
Everyone who gets in receives intensive training, mentorship from sector experts and hands-on exposure to real agricultural challenges. You also leave with connections to people who buy, fund or advise agribusinesses.
Eligibility Criteria
- You must be a founder or innovator based in Kaduna.
- Your idea should create impact somewhere along the agricultural value chain.
- Your project should fit one of the five focus areas listed above.
- You must be able to attend in person at GreyHobb from 29 to 31 October 2026.
Documents Needed to Apply
No documents are listed. The registration form is the main requirement, but a pitch is only as good as the thinking behind it.
- A one-paragraph description of your idea and the farmers or buyers it serves
- Your team members and what each person does
- Any early proof, such as a prototype, pilot or customer conversation
If you plan to turn the idea into a real company afterwards, look at our readymade business plans to see how agribusiness projects are structured on paper.

Final Thoughts
₦500,000 is not a huge sum, but this is not really about the prize. Three days of mentorship, a room of agribusiness people and a chance at three months of free workspace can shape a young company.
