Biotechnology plays a crucial role in #SaudiArabia's #Vision2030, with a focus on biotech, biopharma, and biomedical fields. The market is projected to grow to $15 billion by 2030, highlighting the significance of this sector in the country's development. One of the key areas where biotechnology makes a substantial impact is in addressing non-communicable diseases (#NCDs). These diseases account for 71% of global deaths and pose a significant challenge for governments worldwide. Moreover, biotechnology extends beyond the realms of antibiotics and vaccines. It plays a critical role in enhancing national security measures and addressing broader concerns related to food and water security. The advancements in biotechnology not only pave the way for innovative medical solutions but also contribute to tackling pressing global issues, making it a pivotal component in shaping the future landscape of healthcare and security. #Biotechnology #Healthcare #SaudiVision2030 #rcrcsa

Blessing Majome and I had the pleasure of reconnecting with Clifford Mack CA (SA) who I met over 12 years ago in Johannesburg during our Executive #MBA studies at WBS in the UK. Bonded by our experiences at University of Warwick - Warwick Business School and our love of Manchester United we discussed all aspects of performance culture—what drives success, what holds teams back, and how to balance support with accountability. Key leadership components we reflected on in these #VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) and #BANI (Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, Incomprehensible) times: • High emotional intelligence • Understanding your people • Access to quality data and knowing how to use it • Resilience & Grit—there are no shortcuts. You have to study, read the books, stay current, and stay connected. • Supporting growth while also calling out sloppiness and underperformance—accountability is key. Underscoring this is a commitment to life long learning & self development. At Sterling Bell we combine leading business school research with real-world experience to curate impactful learning interventions that help leaders stay ahead. It was great to catch up in person—next stop Manchester (via #Dubai & Executive Education at Warwick Business School) #Leadership #PerformanceCulture #LifelongLearning #Networking #ExecutiveEducation #Accountability #ManchesterUnited #Resilience #Grit #Emotionalintelligence Simon Bason #africa #africanexcellence Johannesburg Business School (JBS)

Excellent insights from Rt Hon Tobias Ellwood. Having proudly served with both the British Army and the Armée de Terre I firmly believe we must urgently invest in and take our British and European defense responsibilities seriously. Security and resilience require commitment. #Defense #Security #Leadership #NATO
