Akagera Medicines is a Multicultural Biotech Company.
We are majority-owned by the people of Rwanda through the Rwanda Social Security Board, which represents 14 million citizens.
The Majority of the Board of Directors are African, and it will always be so. Africans work with us on our Science Advisory Board and Business Advisory Board.
We are citizens of India, Russia, Israel, the USA, Ireland, Rwanda, Nepal, China, Canada, Germany, Afghanistan, and France.
The ages of the people in our company span from college interns to nearly 70 years old on both the science and business sides.
And women represent 6 out of the 23 seats of our three combined boards. This is compared to the 1 out of 7 women in senior leadership of all STEM companies, and 1 out of 20 women on boards for STEM companies in the USA.
This is still a long way from achieving what Rwandan society has achieved in its parliament, a 2/3 majority of women!
