Colombia Agrifood Innovation Hub
From territory to a national innovation engine
Partner: Eatable Adventures, CCB, Universidad de la Sabana, Alianza Team & Compensar
Sector: Agrifood System
Geography: Colombia
Key Results
First Andean Agrifood Innovation Hub launched
200+ startups activated in the region
Governments, academia and industry aligned under one platform
The Challenge
Colombia had talent, ambition and interest, but innovation was fragmented. There was no shared operating model to connect actors, accelerate collaboration, and scale impact nationally.
The Intervention
- Designed CAIH as a national platform connecting government, academia, and industry.
- Unified fragmented initiatives into a shared platform for collaboration.
- Activated the ecosystem through programming and partnerships to move from vision to action.
The Impact
Isolated initiatives were replaced by a coordinated platform, accelerating agrifood innovation, attracting startups and positioning Colombia as a regional reference for system-level transformation.
CAIH didn’t just launch a hub. It made a country move together.
