Marc Koska, Inventor of the Auto-Disable Syringe - The Knowledge Guild February 2018

Absorbing himself in the newspapers and news, Marc Koska couldn’t ignore the plight of millions who were suffering from the AIDS virus in Africa. So, at 23, he designed a syringe that breaks once it’s been used. Taking him three minutes to design, Marc battled for 17 years to manufacture, patent and distribute the K1 Auto-Disable.

Persistently fighting against bureaucratic red tape, in 1996 Marc was finally able to co-found Star Syringe and licence the technology around the world. His unshakable patience and his unwavering vision to stop the spread of a killer virus make Marc a truly admirable entrepreneur and speaker.
