006. This Girl is on fire

006. This Girl is on fire

This girl is on fire! You may have seen that scene from Hunger Games where a girl turns her dress on fire for a TV show (see link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2sXXG3tTaI).

It is quite impresive right? It is also very futuristic don´t you agree? It seems something for the far future!

But what would happen if she get burned? Keep reading ;)

in the same movie her game partner gets seriously injured and his wound is fastly healed with a creamy-like product...Sci-Fi?

Well, as soon as end of 2014 a similar product would be available in over 50 markets. 

Not only a product for burn healing but also to heal lacerations, diabetic foot ulcers or even surgical and chronic wounds. 

As MedMarket Diligence shows there are few millions wounds going on each year:

And is there a company behind this product? Of course there is! 

And shares of this company are on any stock? Yes, and right now its shares (21/11/2013 at 16:45 CET time) are below 1$ each!

And is this company profitable enough as to invest on it? Certainly yes, according to those facts:

They increased revenues 24% over the third quarter 2013.

They spent more than 200.000 $ on R&D during that quarter.

They hold more than 4 Millions $ in intangible assets.

Golbally the health system is becoming aware of expenses and any product able to reduce treatments costs is suitable to be on top of its purchasing's priorities.

005. It's time for Africa

005. It's time for Africa

Hola!

You surely remember the Futbol World Cup in South Africa. Maybe the offical theme (played by colombian singer Shakira) still sounds familiar to you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRpeEdMmmQ0

That song was about Futbol. It was? Not really...Africa is waking up and its time is coming: 
Africa as a whole is much bigger than US, China, Europe, India and Japan together (see chart: http://0.tqn.com/d/goafrica/1/0/b/Q/true-size-of-africa.jpg ). 
However its relevance when talking about business is far smaller.
It is just a matter of time that African population grows to an outstanding level (see chart: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2013/07/16/the-amazing-surprising-africa-driven-demographic-future-of-the-earth-in-9-charts/ ). 
Its population is becoming aware of IT benefits such as tablets for agricultural or educational uses, feature phones and a fast internet connection (see article: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-11-11/vodacom-first-half-profit-rose-11-as-data-revenue-gains.html ).

Hence it is a clever idea to have shares of african customer-oriented companies developping such products. Even better if such companies ar inland ones understanding its market at its best!
This post gives an overall idea about one of this companies. We will present it as a Teaser with some relevant figures:

1. Capital of USD 500,000.
2. Branched out in the design of general public products (tactile tablet and Smartphone).
3. Products are designed with Africa-centered values, added up to a price accessible to the general public.

Are you interested in knowing more about it?
