Inqaba is Xhosa for “rare and precious” and this pays homage to our South African origin. The visitor premises are based in Muckleneuk, one of the oldest suburbs in Pretoria. In 2010 the Kenyan subsidiary, inqaba biotec™ East Africa Ltd, was opened in Nairobi and we have registered inqaba biotec™ West Africa Ltd in Nigeria in 2014. The initial startup was organized by a venture team of five, of whom three are still engaged with the company: Dr de Gama, Prof. Göttfert and Dr Preisig. In 2002, inqaba biotec™ was financed through private probity from 30 private shareholders and through a loan from the Swiss Government, which was fully repaid within five years of its inception. In 2005, the South African Biotechnology trust, BioPAD, took up shareholding in the company. In 2007, inqaba biotec™ started offering genome sequencing using a sequencing technology from 454, which at time was a novel innovation and made us pioneers in offering this service in Africa.Currently, inqaba biotec™ employs over 40 people in South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Nigeria, Ghana and Senegal with plans of creating a network wideness Sub-Saharan Africa. This will facilitate our ultimate aim of getting largest support and logistics to our customers in the field of Genomics as part of our contribution to remoter develop Science and Technology in Sub-Saharan Africa.   Contact Details Southern Africa Inqaba Biotechnical Industries (Pty) Ltd.
