New Initiative: Envu Partners with I2I for Vector Control Programme
We are thrilled to announce our latest partnership with the Vector Control Professional Placement Programme (VCP³), an initiative of Innovation to Impact (i2i), funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
This collaboration exemplifies the unwavering commitment of Envu to protect public health from the ever-present threat of mosquitoes and vector-borne diseases. The VCP³ program is designed to provide researchers from African institutes with invaluable product development experience, bridging the gap between research and real-world application.
Through this initiative, accepted applicants will be fully integrated into our product development teams, gaining hands-on experience in R&D best practices, business planning and product life cycle management. Additionally, this 12-month, fully funded secondment will enable researchers to return to their home institutes enriched with new expertise, enhancing local support in tackling vector-borne diseases.
“The VCP³ is a good opportunity to give an industrial product development experience to members of the academic sector, helping them understand the diversity and complexity of the questions that need to be answered to bring a new solution to the market,” said Frédéric Schmitt senior global project lead in Mosquito Management. “It also highlights the challenge of development timelines in the context of constantly evolving mosquito populations and behaviors.”
