Scaling Health Innovations in Africa

Connecting The Dots Podcast

Great science doesn’t always reach the people it’s meant to serve. In our newest episode of #ConnectingTheDots, we sit down with Dr. Robert Karanja, biomedical scientist and entrepreneur, to unpack one of the biggest challenges facing African innovation. Together, we explore why promising discoveries often struggle to become products, how innovation ecosystems can bridge the gap between research and industry, and why locally developed solutions are essential for addressing local health challenges. This conversation goes beyond entrepreneurship. It is about building the systems that allow science to create societal and economic value.
