United States Biopharmaceuticals 2017

July 27, 2017

A global powerhouse and forerunner on the international stage, the U.S. biopharmaceutical industry is framed by uncertainty in light of the country’s recent political transition. Nevertheless, the industry is robust and ready to adapt, already reacting to recent negative media attention relating to drug pricing and price increases. With an increasing amount of innovation stemming from small biotechnology companies and projects spun out from universities into start-ups, the importance of fostering innovation and providing a supportive framework is paramount. Regional hubs with flourishing innovation ecosystems are notable for the incentives they offer and, as such, have become centers for innovation and knowledge exchange.

MACIG 2025 - Mining in Africa Country Investment Guide

It is said that mining is a patient industry. Current demand projections are not. Demand for minerals deemed ‘critical’ is set to increase almost fourfold by 2030, according to the UN. Demand for nickel, cobalt and lithium is predicted to double, triple and rise ten-fold, respectively, between 2022 and 2050. The world will need to mine more copper between 2018 and 2050 than it has mined throughout history. 2050 is also the deadline to curb emissions before reaching a point of ‘no return.’ The pace of mineral demand and the consequences of not meeting it force the industry to act fast and take more risks. Mining cannot afford to be a patient industry anymore. The scramble for supply drives miners back to geological credentials, and therefore to places like the African Central Copperbelt.
