IKP Knowledge Park

🌟 Meet the visionaries transforming ideas into impact at our 𝐀𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐡 series at #IKMC2024! 🌟 A powerful moment at #IKMC2024 with Raman Radhakrishnan, Co-Founder of Backyard Creators! After two years of virtual collaboration, it was amazing for him to finally connect in person with the IKP Knowledge Park and IKP EDEN community. The exchange of ideas with fellow founders was invaluable, reinforcing the importance of long-term vision and perseverance in the startup journey. Just as IKP took 25 years to reach its incredible milestones, we too are reminded that great things take time. #AtTheBooth #IKPInnovation #StartupExpo #Entrepreneurship #BackyardCreators #IKMC2024 #IKPat25 Deepanwita Chattopadhyay Sanjay Sarin Sai Life Sciences Ltd Escientia Life Sciences JK Agri Genetics Limited Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (BIRAC) DBT BIRAC Jitendra Kumar Taranjeet Kaur Shilpy Kochhar Satya Prakash Dash Dr Renu Swarup Manish Diwan Dr Shirshendu Mukherjee Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India Telangana Innovation Cell Research and Innovation Circle of Hyderabad T-Hub TiE Hyderabad ABLE - Association of Biotechnology Led Enterprises Miltenyi Biotec Bindu Nishal Dr. Priyankana Mukherjee Sangita Majee Apoorva Bhatnagar Viswanadham Duppatla Sridhar Ramanathan Aaqib Jameel Manish Kumar, RTTP Vithal K Lakkineni, Ph.D. Navin Kumar K Vishaka Sawan Ranajit Sen Anuradha Barua Harshada Wadkar IKP PRIME Sudha Kalyani Bommareddy, Ph.D.

IKP is excited to announce the successful completion of the second batch of the Copenhagen Business Immersion Program 2024, which marks a significant milestone in our ongoing collaboration with Copenhagen Business School (CBS) to drive innovation and global partnerships. As part of the course Designing Imaginative Business Models, a team of 40 CBS students was selected to travel to #Hyderabad, India for an immersion experience in building business models with Indian companies. This year, five startups from the IKP Knowledge Park ecosystem—Bycus Therapeutics, Huwel Lifesciences, Monitra Health, UR Advanced Therapeutics, and IKP PRIME (a technology transfer office of IKP)—collaborated with teams from within the IKP ecosystem. Under the guidance of Prof. Sudhanshu Rai and with valuable inputs from Deepanwita Chattopadhyay, the students undertook comprehensive research for IKP, addressing a specific problem statement and presenting their observations and recommendations through detailed presentations. In this two-month program, students worked with companies online in October and participated in a three-week on-site engagement in Hyderabad in November. Their final presentations of the students' teams offered actionable insights on improvement strategies and global market expansion for the companies. This program highlights the transformative potential of collaborative learning and innovation, fostering growth and impactful outcomes for the students and stakeholders in the IKP ecosystem. #InnovationEcosystem #GlobalPartnerships #CollaborativeLearning #BusinessInnovation #DesignThinking #BusinessModels #IKP #Innovation #Business #Collaboration Sanjay Sarin Bandhana Katoch, Esq., MBA, MS, RTTP Manish Kumar, RTTP Vithal K Lakkineni, Ph.D. Sangita Majee Anuradha Barua Harshada Wadkar Bindu Nishal Viswanadham Duppatla Fie Linde Orlando Holenweger Katarina Filipas Maria Luisa Vogel Ida Gavlen Julie Hordnes Mari-Beth Trainor Prerna Rohilla Dr. Priyankana Mukherjee Apoorva Bhatnagar Sridhar Ramanathan IKP EDEN Aaqib Jameel Navin Kumar K Dedeepya Chermala Vishaka Sawan Ranajit Sen Sudha Kalyani Bommareddy, Ph.D. Rohika B Bhujanga Rao Kilari Prasad GVVS Jaganmohan Reddy Rachana Tripathi Ravi Bhogu
