This year's finalists include:
eAgronom

eAgronom is an AgTech start-up founded by farmers, financed by farmers and developed via farmer feedback. It was started by a JA alumnus who didn't find suitable software for his father's farm.

Edumus

Country of origin: Estonia
Edumus helps working professionals to go back to school and teach one grade, one subject at a time. Made for working professionals, Edumus is a self-development program to learn and practice leadership and training skills. In a time of continued shortage of teachers in Europe, Edumus offers a complementary approach, which is less demanding for teachers and can become a catalyst for positive change.

Biofy
Entrepreneur: Fernando Matias Casale
Country of origin: Spain
Biofy designs and sells modular plants that turn landfill bound plastic waste into low-sulphur fuel, which can be directly used in machinery or blast furnaces or refined into more conventional fuels. The price is lower and more stable than the one that comes directly from petrol, thanks to their local production.
The winner will be named on Wednesday, 2 October 2019.
