What is Glocal?
Glocal is the first Latin American Accelerator for both, startups and mid – sized established companies in the Agribusiness Sector.
We area focus on farming and foods industry (agritech, biotech, agri-fintech, agri-insurctec).
In a market with plenty of ideas but with a scarcity of teams to put them into practice, Glocal focuses on enhancing the implementation of innovating concepts at different stages.

Our Donations Policy
We are focused on entrepreneurship and startups which have difficulty in accessing financing and whose aim is generating a positive impact in the Agri Food Tech sector.

Besides, we support Associations, Foundations and Organizations that are lined up with our purpose, so as to create together a local impact ecosystem focused on Agri Food Tech.
How We Work
We approach our service from a unique perspective which defines us: Glocalization.
