Joint venture aims to strengthen healthcare innovation, nurture local talent, and boost economic progress across Africa
Here, Alex Bedenkov and Barbara Nel share their thoughts on our new partnership with Royal Academy of Engineering.
On 6 October, we were delighted to announce a new partnership with the皇家工程学院(the Academy) to establish connections between African healthcare innovators and ourA. catalyst网络全球20多个全球健康创新中心。该合资企业旨在推动工程解决方案的开发，这些解决方案有可能以健康技术的重点应对当地挑战。
As part of its commitment to building international partnerships and solving global challenges, the Academy foundedThe Africa Prize for Engineering Innovation在2014年。该年度奖项为撒哈拉以南非洲以下的雄心勃勃的创新者提供了关键的商业化支持，超过100个创新者已经是非洲奖校友网络的一部分。
我们将支持该计划作为社区合作伙伴，将非洲奖企业家连接到我们的A.Catalyst网络中心，以及我们的供应链和更广泛的生态系统（包括投资者）。
通过共同努力，我们希望进一步加强两个组织在培养当地人才并加强非洲大陆的医疗创新和创造力的工作。
Creating new opportunities
At AstraZeneca, we have long recognised that breakthrough science and healthcare don't happen in isolation; they are the result of collaboration and partnerships that strengthen healthcare innovation and creativity. Our A.Catalyst Network offers exciting opportunities for health tech entrepreneurs to connect and collaborate with a truly global network of expertise and experience, helping to accelerate innovation and ensure that more patients can get access to the latest health tech solutions.
Our new partnership with the Academy is integral to our unwavering commitment to improving health access and creating sustainable impact in Africa. We want to ensure that entrepreneurs in emerging markets like Africa are offered the same kind of platform and opportunities that their counterparts in other countries would benefit from.
Sharing knowledge and experience
As part of the collaboration, we will join the Africa Prize’s network of expert mentors, offering training support for Africa Prize innovators, giving them access to tailored expertise and experience to help them develop their projects. We will also take part in a webinar series for the Africa Prize alumni network and current cohort, sharing knowledge and insights on health tech and other subjects.
Our partnerships are crucial to delivering the breadth and depth of support we can offer, which in turn allows the programme to accelerate African entrepreneurial capacity, producing scalable, local solutions to global challenges. We believe that while one innovator can change a community, a network can transform a continent, and the Africa Prize network truly represents the brightest minds tackling the greatest challenges. We are looking forward to working with AstraZeneca to amplify the impact of our innovators in harnessing the power of engineering and building a sustainable society and inclusive economy that works for everyone.’
我们期待支持我们的非洲奖企业家开发其创新项目，并共同努力，为所有非洲所有患者的利益寻求健康挑战的答案。
Going forward, our partnership with the Academy will continue to collaboratively explore further opportunities to strengthen healthcare systems within the region, and beyond.
