A Global Vision with an African Heart: UCT Joins the GBA

We are thrilled to announce that the University of Cape Town (UCT) has officially joined the GBA. As the top-ranked university in Africa, UCT’s membership marks a historic expansion of our network into the African continent.

Bioeconomy is not just about technology; it is about people, landscapes, and sustainable livelihoods. By bringing UCT into the alliance, we are ensuring that the global transition to a bio-based economy includes the unique perspectives, biodiversity, and challenges of the Global South.
