On July 1-3 2025, the RAMP–Accelerate Bootcamp hosted in Palmira, Colombia, marked a pivotal moment in the journey of nine science-backed ventures—each born from Alliance research and primed to move toward real-world impact. Watch the Highlight Video about this milestone event to ensure that promising agri-food science-based innovations don’t remain on the shelf, but create real, tangible value for people and the planet. RAMP – Research and Market Pathways—was launched in October 2024 by the CGIAR Accelerate for Impact Platform (A4IP), under the Global Partnerships Unit at the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT. Designed to help scientists’ research outputs reach the people who need them most while generating value to sustain those activities, RAMP encourages scientific entrepreneurship along a funneled pathway. Over the coming months, the teams will continue in the RAMP accelerate phase with tailored support in market exploration, business model design, stakeholder engagement, and investment readiness.
