Bridging Africa's
Bio-manufacturing Gap
We're on a mission to advance bio-manufacturing in Africa by investing in scalable and cost-efficient platform technologies.
About Us
Why Start Create Biomedicines?
The shortage of biomedical products in Africa remains a public health emergency of tragic proportions. Each year, countless lives are lost due to limited access to essential diagnostics and therapies. Despite breakthroughs in global healthcare, Africa continues to rely heavily on imported biomedical products, with studies showing that 70% to 90% of medicines on the continent are sourced externally. This overdependence not only hampers timely care but also exposes the continent to vulnerabilities in global supply chains.
​
At Create Biomedicine, we believe that the solution must come from within. Africa is home to brilliant scientists, resourceful innovators, and an untapped potential for biomedical advancement. By empowering local talent and investing in scalable biotechnology infrastructure, we aim to revolutionize access to life-saving medical products tailored to Africa’s distinct healthcare needs.
Our Mission
To advance Africa’s healthcare landscape by developing innovative, scalable platforms for the production of critical biomedical products.
Our Vision
To catalyze Africa’s self-reliance in biomedical innovation by becoming the continent’s leading hub for affordable, locally developed diagnostic and therapeutic solutions.
Our Work
Initial R&D Focus
Our research is focused on leveraging platform technologies for scalable and affordable bio-manufacturing of essential biomedical products.
Why Africa Must Continue Building Its Own Bio-Manufacturing Capacity
Supply Chain Sovereignty
Africa relies heavily on imported medical supplies, creating persistent shortages, high costs, and long wait times. Local bio-manufacturing ensures uninterrupted access to essential biomedical products, even during global disruptions.
Affordability Through Local Innovation
Imported biomedical products often carry steep markups that make routine testing and treatment unaffordable. Local production lowers costs, increases availability, and allows solutions to be designed for Africa.
Strengthening Health Systems
Building domestic manufacturing capacity enables faster response to outbreaks and more resilient healthcare delivery. Local production ensures that countries can rapidly scale essential tools without waiting on global supply chains.
Economic Growth and Skilled Workforce
Bio-manufacturing creates high-value jobs, supports scientific training, and stimulates new industries across biotechnology, healthtech, and research. Investing in local production turns Africa into a creator, not just a consumer.
