The fifth annual Bio Africa Convention opened on Monday, at the Durban International Convention Centre. The convention is intended to bring together international researchers, policy makers, regulators, entrepreneurs and business leaders. It is a hybrid event, with those delegates who are unable to attend in person participating through the use of virtual platforms. Nevertheless, some 500 people are expected to physically attend the convention. This year’s theme is ‘Africa Resilient: Life Sciences innovation for achieving health and food security’. In consequence, the 2022 convention is focused on agriculture (for food security) and healthcare and the environment (to promote universal access to healthcare), seeking to facilitate innovation in both these major biotechnology areas.
