TOWARDS A LEADING

BIOECONOMY

Biotech in India Biotechnology is the answer to a myriad of health, bio-environment and food security challenges the world faces today. From finding solutions to climate change to discovering novel solutions to address health and food security concerns and tackling the energy crisis through biofuels, biotechnology is doing it all. Given the fact that India has a huge scientific pool, bio-diversity, drug-naïve patient population and growing agricultural needs, the Biotechnology sector has great scope for development in the country. However, to emerge as a leading Bioeconomy by 2025, we need to speedily address the infrastructural, policy and funding concerns and above all the skills deficit issue.

Despite the presence of quality research institutions and investments in the Biotech field, India does not have a substantial pool of well-trained Bioscientists. To become a global innovation hub for Biotech, it is imperative to create an industry-oriented educational system that fills this gap. The need of the hour is to address the lack of higher studies opportunities in India, and revolutionize the entire biotechnology curriculum by providing hands-on experience & industrial training that makes students industry-ready and enhances their employability in the Pharma and Biotech industry.

Biocon Academy - an initiative by Biocon Ltd, will help address the skill deficit in the Biotech industry by developing industry-ready talent for the Biopharma sector.
