99Science
99Science is an emerging science firm. Wen provide solutions to the numerous challenges faced by Ghana, the African continent, and the world. 99science brings together brilliant minds across scientific, mathematical and engineering disciplines to apply concepts to research, solve problems and develop relevant technologies ranging from daily science inspired domestic tools to sophisticated machines and equipment. We are into science publishing, commerce, networking and home tuition service.
We hire teachers and connect them to parents and students who wish to be tutored. We have not seen such a platform in Ghana yet. The hustle and difficulty people go through before acquiring tutors is grealtly minimised.
We publish science works and help expose scientists to the world. Our ecommerce platform which is being developed would sell science, tech and engineering products.
We are into prototyping and scientific consultancy.
We are growing impressively, aggressively solving challenges and hungrily growing as a business.
According to the World Economic Forum, Africa produces only 1.1% of global scientific knowledge. The continent has just 79 scientists per million of inhabitantscompared to countries like Brazil and United States where the ratio stands at 656 and 4,500 respectively. The low output in science coupled with the low number of scientists is a significant factor in the economic retrogression of Africa. Few reputable local journals exist for scientist to share their findings. Many government funded science projects end up on the shelves, many student projects including promising ones ends up unpublished. Scientists struggle so hard before accessing and purchasing some lab reagents and other apparatus needed in research. Science specific social networks are almost nonexistent. A highly productive science social network would greatly improve productivity and learning channels of scientists.
We target students, parents, researchers and people who utilize basic science and technology products. We also target elementary and second cycle institutions and students who attend it.
Our help startups to grow and thrive. For example, the Animal feed project I developed for ENACTUS UDS Navrongo is helping a lot of rural farmers in the Kassena-Nankana Municipality of the Upper East Region of Ghana and has won US$3000 from Ford and GHS25000 from the Government of Ghana.
We provide jobs to young people through our Brightway Tuition Service. Unemployment is a deep challenge in Ghana and we are helping reduce that. Whiles doing this, we make life easy for students and parents who wish to hire home tutors for their wards. With the click of a button, a tutor is booked on our Brightway platform.
The Journal of 99Science is helping researchers, students and scientists to share their findings with the world. Science journalism ensures that there is a free information flow among researchers and the general public. Our facebook page has nearly 4000 likes and still growing
As consultants, we help organisations recover from intellectual crisis and bankruptcy. We are helping old and new organisations in diverse ways.
We are in to prototyping and building of science backed innovations and products at. Some of this products and prototypes have won funding from international companies and Government of Ghana.
We improve the quality of education and create jobs by hiring tutors and then connecting them to students who desire home tuition through our Brightway Tuition Services. Tutors get employed and earn money while parents enjoy the comfort of having tutors directly at their homes.
Our ecommerce (shop.99science.org) wishes to make the purchase of science, engineering and tech-based products easy and accessible when it is finally online.
Our consultancy services help build many startups and improve existing companies who are bankrupt with novel ideas of improving their products.
We have made a science Journal to help publish science and technical information. Scientists, researchers and students can easily publish research papers, monographs and abstracts on Journal of 99Science (Journal.99science.org). Science Journalism is at a low in Ghana and Africa and need significant improvement.
We are solving the problem of poor education. We are helping to reduce unemployment by providing jobs. We make trade and commerce easy especially for researchers, scientist and innovators.

Expand to other countries.
We hope to grow to become a multifaceted company pioneering brilliant and
wonderful science projects across disciplines. We would grow to become a giant in science
commerce, establish a society of highly gifted people and lead the continent and the world in
science. We hope to start a trial stage of the Hyperloop in the next five years. Advances in CRISPR
are also one of our main focuses. We strongly believe in leveraging the potentials of CRISPR to
salvage humanity from some of the most painful problems we face today. A section of us shall
enter into aerospace, space exploration, astrobiology and cybernetics.

Global scientific instrument market reached a value of US$ 33 Billion in
2018; it is expected to hit US$ 42 Billion by 2024. The global market for lab reagents is projected to reach US$23 Billion in 2022. Scientific and Technical (S&T) publishing is a $9.9 Billion industry. Investment in science in Africa is witnessing marginal increase year after year because of the position of the Continent in the history of human origins. Funding agents have now seen
the importance of carrying research in Africa instead of replicating the conditions of Africa elsewhere in the world. Africa is a growing hotspot for scientific research.
