Biotech incubator OneBio opens applications to SA and Zim startups
Biotech is increasingly seen as a solution for global challenges in health, food, agriculture, and the environment; as well as a driver of economic development and diversification. Falling costs of performing life sciences research mean that biotech is no longer reserved for large corporations, universities and government organisations.
Cape Town based biotech incubator OneBio has opened applications for its six-month incubation programme to South African and Zimbabwean startups.
OneBio’s incubation programme is aimed at biotech startups that are either late in the research cycle or early in the product cycle. The incubator is looking for startups working on solutions in areas that include consumer biology, future food and agriculture, bio-materials, industrial biology, biological tools, animal health, therapeutics and regenerative medicines.
