With investors increasingly focusing on ESG topics, you might think that being a Tech for Good company would help attract funding. This is not always the case, says Marc Gitzinger, CEO of Bioversys, which is developing new medicines for severe life-threatening bacterial infections that are resistant to antibiotics.
