Accelerating Biomanufacturing for Economy, Environment & Employment
About the Initiative
The Telangana BioE3 Cell is a state-level biomanufacturing coordination platform established in alignment with India’s BioE3 Policy - Biotechnology for Economy, Environment and Employment. The Cell enables structured collaboration between government, industry, start-ups, academia, and investors to accelerate sustainable biomanufacturing and bio-based innovation.
The initiative supports the national vision of building a high-impact bioeconomy and advancing technology-led, climate-aligned industrial growth.
The Telangana BioE3 Cell is facilitated by Research and Innovation Circle of Hyderabad (RICH) in coordination with national agencies including the Department of Biotechnology, Government of India.
Purpose
To serve as a state knowledge and implementation hub that translates BioE3 policy goals into actionable programs, partnerships, pilots, and scalable biomanufacturing opportunities across Telangana.
Vision
To position Telangana as a leading biomanufacturing and bio-innovation hub by enabling technology translation, scale-up pathways, and cross-sector collaboration - aligned with national BioE3 priorities and state strengths.
