Overview
The INCiTiS-FOOD Open Call for Independent Innovators is a funding opportunity designed for startup entrepreneurs and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) residing in specific cities and towns across six African countries that host INCiTiS-FOOD Living Labs. This initiative aims to enhance urban and peri-urban food systems in Africa through integrated and circular technologies.
Eligible applicants must be classified as Independent Innovators and establish a legal entity with a VAT number to apply individually for the grant. The funding mechanism is a direct non-repayable grant, amounting to €60,000 distributed among 24 selected winners, with individual awards based on performance ranking: €3,500 for first place, €2,500 for second, and €1,500 for third.
The application process opens on December 11, 2025, and closes on February 9, 2026. It involves a structured multi-stage evaluation: an initial eligibility check, remote evaluation based on alignment with INCiTiS-FOOD goals, impact, and implementation criteria, followed by a pitching event for the top 12 candidates. Winners can expect project implementation to last for four months, divided into two phases, with funding being released upon acceptance of project deliverables.
The geographic scope is limited to six countries: Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Cameroon, and Gabon, specifically targeting eight designated cities within these nations. The thematic focus includes circular agri-food technologies aimed at improving food security while also addressing environmental sustainability.
Overall, this opportunity serves as a gateway for early-stage innovators in the agri-food sector to secure funding, gain international validation, and develop innovative solutions that align with the goals of enhancing food resilience within their local contexts.

Detail
The INCiTiS-FOOD Open Call for Independent Innovators (II) is a funding opportunity within the INCiTiS-FOOD project, which aims to foster integrated and circular technologies for sustainable city region food systems in Africa. This open call is part of the Cascade Fund and the FSTP mechanism, with a total budget of 1,000,000€ dedicated to the Cascade Fund. The specific open call for Independent Innovators (II) has a total funding of 60,000€.
The opening date for submissions is December 11, 2025, and the deadline for submissions is February 9, 2026, at 17:00 (Brussels time). The call is currently open for submission. The expected duration of participation is 4 months. The project acronym is INCiTiS-FOOD, and the full name of the EU-funded project is INtegrated and Circular Technologies for Sustainable city region FOOD systems in Africa. The grant agreement number is 101083790. The relevant topic is HORIZON-CL6-2022-FARM2FORK-01-14 - African food cities.
The INCiTiS-FOOD project will select 24 winners through this open call. Independent Innovators (IIs) who are eligible to apply must be start-up entrepreneurs and SMEs residing in one of the eight cities and towns within the six INCiTiS-FOOD countries hosting a Living Lab (LL). Each location will have 3 selected winners. All Open Call winners must meet the eligibility criteria outlined in Section 3 of the Applicants’ Guide.
At the time of application, applicants must submit the following:
1. Declaration of Honour (either for legal entities or natural persons).
2. Declaration of Conducting Business (either for legal entities or natural persons).
3. Proposal pitch.
During the contracting phase, winners must also provide:
1. Bank account information.
2. Signed copies of the Sub-grant Agreement for INCiTiS-FOOD Open Call winners (indicative model provided for informative purposes only).
All applications must be submitted in English. Applications in other languages will be considered ineligible and will not be evaluated. Independent Innovators who do not have an established sole proprietorship (i.e., VAT number) will have to establish one, in accordance with respective national regulations, prior to signing their subgrantee agreement. During the application period, they will submit a letter of commitment to establishing a sole proprietorship, should they be declared the winner of the Open Call. Start-ups qualify under the SME definition (see: EUR-Lex - 32003H0361 - EN; Art. 2) and are therefore eligible to apply individually.
The entry point for submitting all proposals is the INCiTiS-FOOD website https://incitis-food.eu/, where the direct link to the application form will be inserted. Applications received through any other channel will be automatically discarded. All the documents needed for the application (INCiTiS-FOOD Open Call Kit) can be found on the INCiTiS-FOOD website, on the section dedicated to the 2nd Open Call.
After the Open Call closes on February 9th, 2026, an eligibility check will be carried out to discard non-eligible applications. The Selection Board of each Living Lab, chaired by the INCiTiS-FOOD partner managing the Open Call, Foodscale Hub, will conduct the eligibility check during February 2026. Only eligible applications will proceed to the evaluation.
Remote evaluation will be carried out by the Selection Board (Coordinator, Open Call Manager, LL leader of the respective city/town). Each proposal will be scored and commented on based on the following criteria:
1. Alignment (maximum score 5 points): Alignment with INCiTiS-FOOD scope and design.
2. Impact (maximum score 5 points): Solution output; community engagement (with special consideration given to women and young adults).
3. Implementation (maximum score 5 points): Knowledge and business experience of the applicant.
The top 12 applicants selected during the remote evaluation will be invited to pitching events. These events aim to deeply understand applicants’ concepts and the feasibility of future integration of the proposed solution. At the events, the Selection Board will evaluate the following criteria:
1. Concept (40%) [1-5; min. 3]: Confirmation of feasibility and novelty of the proposed solution.
2. Integration level (60%) [1-5; min. 3]: The feasibility of the proposed solution’s integration into existing LLs.
After the pitching event, a ranking list will be developed. The top 3 ranked applications will be selected. The grant amounts vary based on the ranking:
1. Best ranked: 3,500€.
2. Second ranked: 2,500€.
3. Third ranked: 1,500€.
The implementation of INCiTiS-FOOD Open Call for Independent Innovators (II) sub-projects will last for 4 months and will be divided into 2 phases:
1. Phase 1: Plan – M01, report: D1 (50% of the funding will be released upon acceptance).
2. Phase 2: Implement - M02-M04, report: D2 (50% of the funding will be released upon acceptance).
Each phase will be completed with the submission of a deliverable summarizing the work done during that phase. The review process will be followed for each phase of the implementation. Once the deliverable is received, it will be assessed by the INCiTiS-FOOD Open Call Selection Board members. A request for the deliverable’s update may occur with specific requirements for what should be modified. Based on the results of the review and acceptance of respected deliverables, payment will be made towards the subgrantees in the previously explained modalities.
In summary, this open call seeks to support independent innovators, specifically start-ups and SMEs, in developing and implementing innovative solutions for sustainable food systems within African cities. The focus is on projects that align with the INCiTiS-FOOD project's goals of integrating circular technologies and enhancing community engagement, particularly among women and young adults. The selection process involves a remote evaluation based on alignment, impact, and implementation, followed by a pitching event for the top applicants. Successful applicants will receive funding to implement their projects over a 4-month period, with payments tied to the completion and acceptance of deliverables at each phase. The overall aim is to reinforce multi-actor collaborations and boost the impact of INCiTiS-FOOD in addressing food system challenges in urban and peri-urban areas of Africa.
