22–24 September 2026 | ILRI Campus, Nairobi, Kenya 
Registration is open until 1 September.  
Early bird rates are available until 15 July. 

You can shape the agenda. Share the big questions, practical skills, difficult debates and bold session ideas you want to see and explore what others across the scaling community are proposing through our real-time agenda map. Do it here by 15 July.

About the event

Every innovation for food, land and water systems needs more than a good idea to reach the people who need it the most. They need champions who can navigate systems, build partnerships, unlock finance, influence policy, and turn evidence into action. 

Scaling Week 2026 is where those champions come together. From international financial institutions (IFIs), governments and funders to frontline delivery partners, Scaling Week 2026 brings the champions who move innovations to scale into the same space. 

Convened by the CGIAR Scaling for Impact Program, Scaling Week 2026 brings together these world-leading scaling champions for food, land, and water systems for three days of practical learning, collaboration and momentum. 

This is not a conference. It is a gathering for people ready to:  

* Explore the latest frontiers of scaling science and research.  
* Discover investment-ready innovations which can be scaled to address urgent challenges in food, land and water systems in a climate crisis.  
* Connect with peers from around the world to drive forward collaborative endeavors for scaling innovation.  
* Get real-time feedback on scaling strategies from experts, peers, and partners. 
* Be coached in the most compelling tools, methods and approaches for effective scaling. 

Scaling Week is designed for the ‘heroes of scaling’ — the people tackling the real challenges of scale, including moving beyond pilots, navigating partnerships, strengthening delivery systems, building investment propositions, and making innovations work in the places where they matter most for the world’s 500 million smallholder farmers. 

Scaling Week 2026 is not about learning to scale by rote. In addition to the fascinating and enlightening talks and plenaries, it’s a chance to get your own ideas and approaches stress-tested by people who have successfully done it. 

Bring your opportunities, bottlenecks, and hard-to-solve challenges. Through peer-to-peer exchanges, we will work through them together to discover solutions.  

Through expert-led bootcamps, as well as coaching and skills sessions, you can strengthen and renew your own scaling practices and those of your colleagues and partners. 

And because scaling is a collaborative endeavor—a team sport—we’re excited to welcome delegations from organizations dedicated to scaling innovations, so that Scaling Week 2026 serves as an opportunity to strengthen the collective capacity of institutions to effectively deliver returns on investments in scaling projects and partnerships. Check out our offers below.  

Who should join? 

* International financial institutions  
* Governments 
* Philanthropic foundations  
* Development funders 
* Regional organizations 
* Delivery partners  
* Entrepreneurs  
* Private sector representatives 
* Extension agencies  
* Researchers 
* Students 

What to expect 

Across three days on the ILRI campus in Nairobi, Scaling Week 2026 will offer: 
* Expert-led bootcamps and coaching and skills sessions for you and your colleagues to strengthen scaling practices 
* Insightful plenaries that explore the frontiers of scaling science 
* Collaborative labs and working sessions focused on forging solutions to real-world scaling challenges 
* Structured networking between governments, funders, IFIs, CGIAR centers and programs, delivery partners and innovators 
* Partnership spaces designed to produce concrete outputs — from scaling pathways and investment propositions to joint initiatives and country-level delivery plans 
* A vibrant community experience that celebrates the people making scale happen
