🌍 Unveiling the Future of African Biotechnology! 🧬

Embark on a journey of discovery with the 2026 Biotechnology and Biosafety Status in Africa! The African Biosafety Network of Expertise (ABNE) has just released two updated new maps, offering an unparalleled look into the continent’s dynamic biotech landscape.

🗺️ Map 1: Navigate the intricate biosafety regulatory landscape across Africa. Understand the frameworks shaping innovation and ensuring responsible development.

🔬 Map 2: Dive deep into the world of biotech products, revealing what’s already approved and what’s actively under research and development. Witness the progress driving agricultural advancements.

These maps aren’t just data; they tell a story of growth, regulation, and potential. They are an essential resource for policymakers, researchers, and anyone invested in Africa’s scientific future.

📢Are you interested in plant genomics?
📢Will you be in Zimbabwe this November?
🫵Apply to attend the #ARTEMIS Bridging Minds Workshop at the University of Zimbabwe.
Our fantastic PhD researcher, Catarina Lino, will be leading the workshop.

It was an exciting two days of talks, discussion and networking at the #africanplantgenomics symposium. Really inspiring to see Detlef Weigel, a global leader in plant research take interest in developing African plant genomics

[Willy Kibet @kibetwilly35]

Participating in the African Plant Genomics Symposium. “Africa needs a critical mass of people and organizations involved in plant genomics to generate new knowledge using genomics & to drive a unified agenda for development continentally & globally."
#AfricanPlantGenomics

[Willy Kibet @kibetwilly35]

Interesting talk by Detlef Weigel from the Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology in Tübingen on importance of plant genomes during the African Plant Genomics Symposium. “Nothing in genomes makes sense except in the light of the real world.”
