Pilots are grant-funded by MCV, 6-12 months long, and focused on building an evidence base for the wider ecosystem by transparently sharing insights and lessons learned.


The Venture Lab is focused on a variety of frontier technology solutions including climate smart technologies, agtech and inclusive fintech innovations.
