A great idea is only the beginning. What does it take to protect it, finance it, get it into the right markets and ultimately build a youth-led agribusiness that can scale? That is the conversation happening at the AYuTe Season 5 Awards Gala as our panel explores the pathways__

Three months ago, it started in Jinja. A call went out to young Ugandans with big ideas for agriculture: GO BIG. GO BOLD. From 836 applications to bootcamp, due diligence and Pitch Day, the journey has brought us here. Today, we celebrate the AYuTe Season 5 winners!
