In this episode of the ACRN Health Podcast, host Dr Wilfred Gurupira convenes a roundtable discussion with Prof Collen Masimirembwa (AiBST) and Prof Brighton Samatanga (The Biotech Institute) to explore how Africa can transition from participating in clinical trials to building a sustainable, homegrown life sciences industry.

The conversation examines the structural, scientific, and economic foundations required to build a thriving ecosystem, including:

• Clinical research as a foundation for industry
• The gap between scientific discovery and commercialization
• Building and sustaining institutions in Africa
• Talent, risk, and the realities of building locally
• The role of partnerships and ecosystem thinking
• Africa’s competitiveness in the global life sciences landscape
• The economic potential of investing in life sciences

Grounded in practical experience and candid reflection, this discussion offers a strategic perspective on what it will take to build Africa’s life sciences future from within.
