Nanoscience and nanotechnology hold the future for Africa’s achievement of some of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including health, clean water, food security, energy, and climate change, according to Professor Malik Maaza, a senior fellow of the African Academy of Sciences and the UNESCO-UNISA Africa chair in nanoscience and nanotechnology.

Presenting the first African Academy of Sciences (AAS) presidential lecture during a webinar on 27 March 2025, Maaza said Africa could overcome some of its pressing development challenges through emerging nanotechnology.
