Bill Gates has been significantly involved in mRNA technology through investments and advocacy.

In a viral USA Today video, Gates discusses the potential to "mess around with mRNA and lipid nanoparticles" to revolutionize vaccine production and delivery. His foundation has heavily supported mRNA development, including a $52 million investment in CureVac for mRNA vaccine research and production, and additional funding for low-cost vaccine projects​
More recently, Gates announced $40 million in funding to support mRNA vaccine manufacturing in Africa, focusing on diseases like tuberculosis and malaria.
