Description

Africa's life sciences sector is booming and there is an ongoing biotech startup revolution. Biotechnology is an industry focused on manipulating living organisms to create commercial products. It's hard to describe the exciting and mind-blowing scientific discoveries and medical innovations coming out of the African continent right now. So I decided to do a podcast in which I get the actors to tell their stories. Each episode will be packed with powerful information to excite, educate, enlighten, and encourage you. These breakthroughs are already beginning to change the world for example, the next breakthroughs in genetic research are expected to come out of my beloved continent. Join my guests as they tell us how their innovation is addressing challenges in health, agriculture, and environment. Experts estimate that the Biotech sector will surge beyond $775 billion in size by 2024. Africa is not getting left behind! Grab a front row seat and fasten your seat belt for this exciting ride. Smart students, academics, bioentrepreneurs, and investors will buckle up and learn as much as they can about navigating the journey from idea to market. But don't delay: subscribe to the podcast now and share with a friend.
