Author: info@klassikdigital.co.za
As we mark the successful completion of another chapter in our journey, we are thrilled to announce the graduation of the latest cohort from our Food Systems Incubation program!
These exceptional individuals have emerged as leaders in the realm of food enterprises that create positive impacts.
We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to have shared their inspiring stories with you over the past year. Not only have we witnessed their remarkable growth, but we've also gained invaluable insights from their unique journeys. We want to take a moment to express our sincere appreciation to the Oribi team, as well as the mentors and experts who generously shared their knowledge and skills with our fifth cohort.
As we wrap up this cohort, we eagerly anticipate the launch of our next #Foodsystem incubation program. This is an opportune moment for reflection and introspection, and we highly value your feedback, requests, and recommendations.
We invite you to get in touch with us at hello@oribivillage.com. Your perspectives on our recent cohort, our program, and entrepreneurship in South Africa are of utmost importance to us.
But before we turn our gaze to the future, let's revisit the core purpose of our #Foodsystem Incubation program. Since 2019, Oribi has remained dedicated to reshaping the landscape of the South African food system through social entrepreneurship. We firmly believe that social innovation is a driving force for transforming lives and enhancing livelihoods in marginalised communities.
Now, let's take a moment to celebrate the remarkable businesses that have successfully completed the 9-month food system incubation program:
- BioNat Food Safety, Quality & Laboratory Services
- Mihla NgeMihla
- Young Women and Men Upliftment Project
- AgroUbuntu Solutions Pty Ltd
- Greenvines Agricultural Primary Cooperative
A heartfelt congratulations to the grant recipients, who now have the opportunity to test their business ideas and validate their business models. We extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who has been part of this life-changing journey with us. We wish you all continued success on your entrepreneurial journey.
We also want to express our immense gratitude to our collaborators, partners, and funders who have made this program possible: Agence Française de Développement (AFD), Pulse Communaute, Pulse Groupe SOS, Industrial Development Corporation (IDC), Monaco Cooperation, and the Schmidt Family Office.
