Bio-economy holds a better future for Africa and the world
South Africa will host the first Bio Africa Convention from 27 to 29 August 2018. The meeting, which will attract bioeconomy role players from across the globe, will be held under the theme, "Africa: Open for Business – Building the Bio-economy Together".
In the past decade there has been a steady increase in the development and adoption of bioeconomy strategies by a number of countries. This shows the growing importance of the bioeconomy for sustainable development and meeting social, environmental and economic challenges.
The Bio Africa Convention is a platform for networking and sharing ideas. It will showcase Africa’s biotechnology innovations in the health, agriculture and industrial sectors, and help to unlock the potential of Africa's unique biodiversity by providing opportunities for investment.
