ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
Biotechnology has permeated several areas of everyday existence including food, medicine, energy and environment. The confluence of Biotechnology with different branches of engineering has spawned the growth of several diverse industries in the areas related to Biofuels, Biosensors, Biomedical devices, Bioinformatics and similar state-of the art inter-disciplinary technologies. Entrepreneurship is a opportunity that seamlessly integrates with the Biotech sector. The following facts endorse the same:
India is among the top 12 biotech destinations in the world and ranks third in the Asia Pacific.
The Indian biotech industry in India has grown from $1.1 Billion in 2005 to $7 Billion in 2015 and is expected to grow at 30.46 percent CAGR to reach US$ 100 billion by 2025.
The growth is due to a range of positive trends such as growing demand for healthcare services, increase demand for food & nutrition, intensive R&D activities and strong government initiatives.
The government has supported 104 new startups, 346 BT companies, 509 projects, 100 Intellectual Properties, 175000 sq. ft. of bioincubation space, 5 University Innovation Clusters, 1 Regional Innovation Centre and 3 Industrial Facilities.
Thus, in the background of immense support system in place, creating the proof-of-concept, validating the same, generating IP, marketing the invention/innovation, raising money, and creating values are all aspects of entrepreneurship. This event will congregate the best minds and entrepreneurs, to inspire the young minds to craft their successful ideas and concepts with a purpose to value add and benefit human kind.
