UI-Global’s SouthVation initiative focused on UN Sustainable Development Goal #2

Privileged to have been a partner in today’s event focused on Africa’s neglected crops and the role that indigenous, currently marginalized foods can play in feeding the world. UI Global was in great company alongside Southern Africa Network for Biosciences, Pharma Connect Africa, and Tshwane University of Technology. We were joined by almost 100 delegates and thought leaders from across Africa and beyond. Inspiring conversations and insightful contributions from our UI-Global colleagues Roseanna Avento, David Katerere and Andrew Powell. UI-Global will be rolling out our UI SouthVation platform to help encourage and support new approaches and innovations specifically focused on achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2 aimed at eliminating all forms of hunger, achieve food security, improve nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture.  Please join our innovation hub for news on future programs and events: UI-Global Innovation Hub | Groups | LinkedIn
