Yes.
My research group works extensively in Africa with some of the large centres and researchers, and there's an awful lot of interest in biotechnology. They see this as a way to deal with both health and their future food needs, and they're putting a lot of resources into it. They want to have more partnerships. This is an opportunity for Canada, for Canadian biotech companies to be involved, because they're looking for access to financing knowledge about regulatory systems. They want to work with our universities. Anything we can do to help will benefit us economically, but also help them solve their own food issues.
