Dear Readers,

We are very pleased to present our research report for this quarter: Beyond the Breakthrough: The Uneven Geography of mRNA Vaccine Production.

My colleague Vivek has put together this timely analysis, taking stock of the challenges and opportunities for mRNA technology in the developing world. Also find an exclusive interview with Petro Terblanche, CEO, Afrigen Biologics & Vaccines.

This is following our announcement earlier in the year on our new product GHF Plus: Global Health Policy Intelligence - an offering for our core supporters.

If you are interested in this offering, and want to have a chat, just hit reply to this email!

GHF Plus - our premium offering includes quarterly thematic reports with our signature analyses and insights. In addition, you can also ask us any questions you may have on the field, in a thirty-minute call with us every quarter where we are also happy to share our expertise and take you behind-the-scenes.

In case you missed it, our first report in August: How Geopolitics Has Reshaped Global Biomedical Investments in 2025

Also, check out our workshop next week on the state of play in the negotiations on the Pathogen Access Benefit Sharing System. Do register soon if interested, limited spots!
