About the competition
Instituted in 2019, the Israeli Green Innovation Competition (IGIC) seek to honor individuals and organizations that come up with innovative solutions that promote environmental conservation and agriculture in Ghana. The initiative is undertaken in collaboration with the Ghana Garden and Flower Movement, an initiative of Strategic Communications Africa Limited (Stratcomm Africa). The Competition activities are therefore hosted by the Ghana Garden and Flower Movement and managed by Stratcomm Africa.
The IGIC is a combination between the two greatest strengths of Israel: Agriculture and Innovation. Israel prides itself as a nation of innovation that helps to stimulate innovation wherever it finds itself. As such, the Israeli Green Innovation Competition focuses on innovative startups in the agriculture and horticulture sector.
