Indigenous Raw Materials Creating a High-Tech Home-

Grown Export-Driven Industry

• Valorization of Cuban Sugar Industry

• Utilization of Cuban Natural Resources as Raw Materials to Create New Biotechnology Products

Dating from contacts in the 1980s, Valorization CUBA was seeded by discussions between Alberto Suzarte of the National Center for Scientific Investigations (CNIC, Havana) and David Hunkeler (EPF-Lausanne). The project now coordinates a research project, its industrialization and related clinical activities involving 4 centers, 1 ministry and 1 firm between the two countries. Valorization Cuba is a bilateral technology transfer operation with key developments coming from both partners. Societal development via the utilization of native human and natural resources makes Valorization Cuba a joint success.

Short-term Social-Economic• Employment• Improvement of the sugar industry

Mid-term Environment• Improvement in water quality

Long-term Health• Biopharmaceutical and biomedical products

for the treatment of diseases such as: - Diabetes - Cancer - Rheumatism

The Valorization Cuba project has been funded, since its inception, by

the Swiss Agency for Development & Co-operation, (Berne, Switzerland).
