Our
feedback
During the pandemic, we lead the world in the discovery of variants and clinical trials but we were in the back of the queue to access diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines. That is one of the reasons why we are investing in Fluorobiotech in the production of biotechnology products that save lives and advance livelihoods.

It is crucial that universities participate in ecosystem conversations to advocate for increased infrastructure and investment flow into science-based ventures with high commercial and global impact potential. I trust that Fluorobiotech will become a global force in enzyme manufacturing.

I first got to know about Fluorobiotech when the SAMRC invested in them with interns. Since them, I have been working in partnership the Mastercard Foundation to help them to develop further to generate high level employment in Africa.
