Bio Usawa CEO and President, Dr. Menghis Bairu (L), with Rwanda Development Board CEO, Jean-Guy Afrika, in Kigali on Tuesday, 18 August 2026.

This week in Kigali, our CEO and President, Dr. Menghis Bairu, met with Jean-Guy Afrika, CEO of the Rwanda Development Board (RDB), for a productive discussion about our investment in Rwanda and key milestones over the coming months as we move closer to operational readiness of our modular biomanufacturing facility.

We are grateful to RDB, and to the Government of Rwanda, for their continued engagement and support as we work to make high-quality, affordable biologic medicines more accessible across Africa.

Rwanda is an important part of that vision, and we look forward to the journey ahead together.
