Preparations for the World Potato Congress 2026, set to be hosted in Kenya, continue to gather momentum with the official launch of the Travel Bursary Programme, a key initiative aimed at enhancing global participation and inclusivity.

The programme is designed to support delegates, particularly from Africa, Asia, and South America, to attend the Congress. By helping to reduce financial barriers, the bursary programme will enable broader representation and foster meaningful knowledge exchange among stakeholders from diverse regions and backgrounds.

This initiative reinforces the Congress’s vision of serving as a truly global platform for collaboration, learning, and innovation. By creating opportunities for wider participation, the programme will help ensure that diverse experiences, perspectives, and solutions are shared as stakeholders come together to discuss the future of the potato industry.

As preparations continue, interested participants are encouraged to explore the bursary opportunities available. The launch of the Travel Bursary Programme reflects the Congress’s commitment to strengthening partnerships, promoting equitable participation, and ensuring that the benefits of knowledge exchange are accessible to a wider global audience.

With momentum continuing to build, the World Potato Congress 2026 remains firmly on course to deliver a dynamic, inclusive, and globally representative event.
