Welcome back to Investments for Impact! This season, Scaling for Impact: 10 Years of Villgro Africa, we’re celebrating a decade of health innovation incubation in Africa—reflecting on the journey so far and what lies ahead.

In this episode, we explore the critical role of partnerships in scaling health innovation. From funders and incubators to global and local collaborations, strategic relationships have been at the heart of Villgro Africa’s success.

Joining the conversation are Rob Beyer, co-founder and Board Chairman of Villgro Africa, and Dr. Peter Singer, founder and former CEO of Grand Challenges Canada. Together, they discuss how partnerships helped launch Villgro Africa, why collaboration is essential for sustainable impact, and what lessons we can learn from global initiatives. Tune in to hear insights on building a stronger, more connected innovation ecosystem!
