A Cry for Joint Venture Partners in African Nanotechnology

A Cry for Joint Venture Partners in African Nanotechnology

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

From across the globe in Business Daily Africa, comes this plea for awareness of how a joint venture can prevent the African continent from missing yet another technological wave.  What was poignant about this post was that this wasn’t about missing a business opportunity to reap big profits.  It wasn’t just about reaching into a new market.  It was about missing out on what the continent — not just a single business — needs in order to move forward.  As the authors, Macharia Waruingi and Jean Njoroge write, “Our future generation must be able to compete at the global level.” (emphasis mine) Their premise is that nanotechnology is the next wave — industrialization and the information age being the prior two.  So how can Africa get on the nanotechnology bandwagon when it lags so far behind in industrialization and computerization?  When so many institutions shy away from introducing science into the educational curriculum?  Waruingi and Njoroge suggest finding the pockets of education in Africa where they have a fighting chance (naming the Jomo Kenyatta University…

Flying solo doesn’t have to mean going it alone.

I’m Nina Kaufman.

I know first-hand that running a knowledge-based service business has unique challenges. It’s so much easier when you have an advocate in your corner. Over the past 25 years, I’ve worked with thousands of New York business professionals who want a legal advisor to guide and support them as they navigate the business world.

With wide-ranging experience as a business attorney, strategist, and media authority, I bring the added power of a business lens to the legal issues my clients are facing.

And because I’ve been a business owner myself, I’ve lived through the soaring highs and devastating lows – like when my first law firm failed. So I understand what’s involved to serve great clients, detect business risks early and build a true legacy.

I can’t get those 12 years back. That’s why I have made it my mission to ensure that business professionals like you can become wise and discerning leaders, build a solid business, and live your best life.
