Hoodin and Tenax Enterprises announce partnership to strengthen regulatory compliance in Southern Africa

Hoodin is pleased to announce a new partnership with Tenax Enterprises, a Pretoria-based regulatory and quality consultancy with a strong foothold in the Southern African life science sector. Together, we aim to provide regulatory affairs and quality assurance professionals in the region with reliable, actionable tools to navigate an increasingly complex compliance landscape.

Expanding coverage to Southern Africa

The life science market in Southern Africa is growing rapidly, with new pharmaceutical, medical device, and biotechnology companies bringing innovative products to market. Regulatory requirements are evolving in parallel, and ensuring compliance across multiple jurisdictions has become a critical challenge for RA/QA teams.

Through this partnership, Hoodin will immediately begin extending coverage in its Smart Compliance List to include regulations from South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Kenya, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique. This expansion will provide life science companies operating in these markets with an integrated, structured view of applicable regulations, helping them reduce compliance risks and streamline regulatory strategies.

Why Tenax Enterprises

Tenax Enterprises has established itself as a trusted regulatory partner in the region. The company’s leadership holds board positions in several industry organisations, giving them unique insights into local regulatory developments as well as access to a broad network of stakeholders.

This strategic position makes Tenax a natural partner for Hoodin. Their local expertise, combined with Hoodin’s AI-driven regulatory intelligence platform, ensures that RA/QA teams in Southern Africa can rely on up-to-date, harmonised compliance information tailored to their markets.

A trusted collaboration

Marcus Emne, CEO of Hoodin, commented: “This partnership represents an important milestone for Hoodin. By combining our global regulatory intelligence technology with Tenax’s strong market presence and trusted advisory role, we will provide regulatory professionals in Southern Africa with the tools they need to manage compliance effectively. Our immediate priority is to integrate Southern African regulations into the Smart Compliance List so that clients can act with confidence from day one.”

Keamogetswe Moretsi, CEO of Tenax Enterprises, added: “We are excited to partner with Hoodin to bring a globally proven regulatory intelligence solution to our markets. Many of our clients face increasing pressure to demonstrate compliance with both international and local requirements. By joining forces with Hoodin, we can now support them with structured, actionable insights that reduce complexity and improve readiness for audits and submissions.”

Looking ahead

With the partnership now in place, Hoodin and Tenax Enterprises will focus on delivering immediate value to regulatory teams in Southern Africa. The integration of local regulations into the Smart Compliance List is already underway, ensuring that clients will soon be able to benefit from a comprehensive, harmonised view of their compliance obligations.

This collaboration underscores Hoodin’s commitment to global coverage and its mission to empower RA/QA teams with intelligent, actionable compliance solutions—whether operating in Europe, North America, or Southern Africa.
