India, August 2024 - BioE3 Policy - Biotechnology for Economy, Environment and Employment 2024.

This document proposes a set of policies to promote a high-performance biomanufacturing in India. It does so in the context of the country's priority of an accelerated "Green Growth" for a green, clean, prosperous and self-reliant India.  

"The Policy provides a framework to empower Indian institutions, universities, start-ups and industries to engage in transformative innovations by:

• Intensifying research and innovation to address challenges such as mitigation of climate change and achieving de-carbonization.
• Boosting domestic biomanufacturing capability by enabling synergy between science, technology, engineering and manufacturing.
• Accelerating transition to biomanufacturing by promoting integrated use of artificial intelligence (AI) and digitalization with ‘omics’ and upstream biotechnology innovations.
• Setting up the facilities (Biomanufacturing Hubs/ Biofoundry/ Bio-AIs) for scaling-up and pre-commercial manufacturing, co-located with resources and infrastructure for fostering high- performance biomanufacturing.
• Nurturing cohort of highly skilled workforce."
