When we established ABB in Jan 2005 our aim was simple. We aimed to make a difference! Five years later this has not changed. If anything though, the challenges have been even more encompassing. The Millennium Development Goals are still some way away from being reached, especially in the eradication of hunger, and we have seen new disease challenges developing. Responding to these challenges has become even more difficult with the Global Financial Crisis curtailing investment in these key areas.
But now, just as in 2005, we firmly believe that the intellectual capital in Asia has the capacity to generate ideas, concepts and products that can address the challenges we face. But to get to the end of the commercialization pathway is not easy. That is where we can offer assistance.
Our aim is to work with all stakeholders to ensure that products get to market.
This may mean working with our clients to provide them with a better understanding of markets, capabilities, weakness and strengths. It may mean educating on the regulatory requirements that must be fulfilled or it may mean assisting the development of policies that allow freedom to operate. Increasingly, it also means developing effective communication strategies to deliver information about the product or idea.
Asia BioBusiness works with people who are working FOR people. We firmly believe that the innovation process is more than just about the development of a healthy bottom line. Biobusiness is about bettering lives of all the stakeholders through empowerment, improved health and nutrition and cleaner environments.
