BDIH hosts fourth FemBioBiz

The eight companies which presented three-minute elevator pitches were manufacturers of indigenous health, food, body, and skincare products. The companies demonstrated growth and diversity in the emerging, local, natural products landscape.

FemBioBiz guides and mentors entrepreneurial women running their businesses in various bioscience disciplines such as agri-food, health, bio-waste, and natural cosmetics. It is a four-month programme that culminates with the entrepreneurs pitching their ideas where they stand a chance to represent Botswana at the final stage and have access to further business mentorship, markets, and finance to help them build sustainable businesses.
