Summary:
Roots of first BioAfrica Conference, scheduled between August 27 and 29, can be traced to the Bio2Biz conference that South Africa organised until 2009. South Africa, one of the biggest economies in Africa, is seen as the face of biotech industry in the continent. This inaugural conference will reveal to countries within Africa, just how big this industry is in the continent,” he said. Mr.
Ntuetela and the African delegation have camped at the HICC to find partners among Indian biotech organisations, researchers, venture capitalists, manufacturers and to invite them to the inaugural BioAfrica conference. The city may well prove to be the much-needed launchpad for Africa’s inaugural biotechnology conference, set to be held in the South African city of Durban later this year..
