What does it take to build an industry from scratch? In Part 2 of the Connecting The Dots Podcast, we continue the conversation with Eloïne Barry and Emmanuel Dabo to explore the business side of science communication; how ideas turn into organizations, how trust is built between scientists and the public, and why entrepreneurship is key to the future of African science storytelling.

They share the realities behind launching and sustaining platforms that make science accessible, relatable, and relevant. From their early motivations to the practical challenges of funding, partnerships, and talent, they discuss what it means to build structure in a space that’s still defining itself. We also unpack how AI is influencing the way science stories are created, shared, and consumed, and what that means for communicators, researchers, and content creators across Africa. Watch now, subscribe, and join the conversation on how we can empower scientists and storytellers to shape Africa’s knowledge future.
