India Accelerates Bio-innovation with US$1.1 Billion (INR 9197 Cr) Bio-RIDE Initiative: The Indian Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister of India, has approved the "Bio-RIDE" (#Biotechnology #Research #Innovation and #Entrepreneurship #Development) scheme on September 18, 2024. This initiative merges two pre-existing schemes under the Department of Biotechnology (#DBT) to boost research, innovation, and industrial growth in biotechnology. The scheme has a proposed outlay of INR 9,197 crore for the 2021-26 period. The key objectives of Bio-RIDE are: (1) #Fostering #Innovation: It will provide grants for cutting-edge research in areas like biopharmaceuticals, bioenergy, and synthetic biology. (2) #Supporting #Startups: The scheme aims to nurture bio-entrepreneurship by offering seed funding and incubation to startups. (3) #Encouraging #Academia_Industry #Collaboration: It will facilitate cooperation between research institutions and industries to commercialize bio-based technologies. (4) #Promoting #Sustainable #Biomanufacturing: Aligning with India's green goals, it will encourage environmentally friendly manufacturing practices. Additionally, the scheme introduces a new component on #Biomanufacturing and #Biofoundry, in alignment with the PM’s "Lifestyle for the Environment" (#LiFE) initiative to address #climate #change and promote the #bioeconomy. #Bio_RIDE will also support #skill #development in the #biotechnology sector, helping India achieve its goal of becoming a US$300 billion bioeconomy by 2030. This ambitious initiative contributes to India’s vision of “Viksit Bharat 2047” by ensuring national growth in biotechnology research, innovation, and entrepreneurship. By Priti M.
