👩🔬 Women make up 17% of startup founders in the UK. We're proud that over 1/2 of our startups in our vHive Incubator are founded by women. Earlier this year, we brought together our female founders and leaders from our vHive cohort, Co-Founder of the Animal Health Angels together with Surrey Women's Entrepreneurship Network to discuss about the challenges and unique opportunities being a female leader brings in the Animal Health sector. This candid conversation between Eve Hanks, Dr Georgia Fleet, Wendy Furness and Heather Sanders provides great insight into their journeys into entrepreneurship and investment and we hope will be a great inspiration for future budding startup founders. Massive thanks to Kat Mack and Oluwatobi Balogun, MBA from SWEN for spearheading, filming and editing this video.

For farmers across the UK Johne’s Disease continues to present a significant challenge. An incurable and highly contagious condition primarily affecting cows and sheep, the disease can cost a farmer £200 per cow per year – sometimes amounting to 50% of a farmer’s profits. On 9th September we’re bringing together a collective of experts and leading practitioners for a collaborative workshop, looking at how we can use diagnostics and management strategies to tackle this disease. Speakers will include representatives of The Scottish Government, The Moredun Group, SRUC School of Veterinary Medicine, Biobest, Johne's Action Group, IDEXX, Myhealthyherd .com Ltd, CIEL - UK Agri-Tech Centre, PAN Livestock Services Ltd, Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization (VIDO) CHeCS, and MI:RNA Diagnostics. Aimed at farmers, vets, academics and industry experts alike, the event will explore ways to address Johne Disease and help UK agribusiness to become more sustainable and resilient. If you’re interested in joining us virtually,  register now via this link: https://lnkd.in/eUYyJD6F For those who can’t attend live, the event will also be recorded and shared with everyone who has registered.

As you may have seen, four members of our team are heading out to Kenya in 3 weeks to lay the groundwork for our charity’s next big step: establishing international conservation hubs in collaboration with local conservation authorities and scientists. As an additional fundraiser, the team will be climbing Mt Kilimanjaro to raise funds for this next phase in our charity’s journey! We owe a huge thank you to our sponsors so far for this trip: BOVA UK, Testhim, Care Fertility, Waterhouse Feeds, and our headline sponsor AC Jackson. Their support is making our vision a reality.
