GHATBI provides an incubator services platform exclusively in the agro-processing and technology sector that identifies, invests, nurtures and grows micro and SMEs in high-growth, high-impact, business-to-consumer (B2C) opportunities. It is the first incubator group of its kind in the Western Region of Ghana and currently has active portfolio companies under management in the health, wellness, beauty and organic fruit juice processing industries.

Mission

GHATBI’s mission is to optimize the linkage between agriculture and industry by developing healthy, organic, quality products for the benefit of everyday consumers in Ghana.

Vision

GHATBI’s vision is to transform the country’s diverse raw materials and create industry out of Ghana’s plentiful natural resources. By 2020, GHATBI aims to manage over fifty (50) micro-to-SME businesses.

GHATBI invests in and supports agro businesses that meet at least one or more of the below highlighted criteria:

  • Women-led and/or women-owned

  • Value-add to raw materials for domestic consumption

  • Alleviates youth unemployment, spurs job creation

  • Skills development, skills transfer

GHATBI purchases equity stakes in all portfolio businesses in exchange for investing seed capital and providing management support. While the incubator has an initial “Made in Takoradi” theme with the city’s 500,000+ population, selective opportunities in the Greater Accra region and northern city of Tamale will also be considered for investment and support. Priority will be given to Accra and Tamale ventures that help portfolio companies integrate into other parts of their respective value chains.
