  • Launched in 2024, the \u2018BioE3 (Biotechnology for Economy, Environment and Employment) Policy <\/strong>aims to promote the adoption of cutting-edge advanced technologies <\/strong>and Biomanufacturing<\/strong> in the country.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    Biomanufacturing:<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Biomanufacturing leverages engineering microbial, plant, animal and human cells <\/strong>with increasing precision and control to produce commercially important products.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • In addition to enabling India\u2019s emissions reduction goals<\/strong>, Biomanufacturing will also have a transformative impact across diverse sectors of health, agriculture, food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, materials, biofuels, etc.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • The policy is implemented by the Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Science and Technology<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Biobased chemicals, Biopolymers, Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and Enzymes;\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Smart Proteins and Functional foods;\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Precision biotherapeutics,\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          4. Climate resilient agriculture,\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          5. Carbon Capture and utilization; and\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          6. Marine and Space Research.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          7. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
          8. The Policy aims at accelerating development of technologies for bio-based products and their commercialization<\/strong> by setting up of BioEnablers<\/strong> that include Bio-Artificial Intelligence (Bio-AI) Hubs, Biofoundries<\/strong> and Biomanufacturing Hubs<\/strong> across the country.\u00a0\u00a0\n
              \n
            • Bio-AI hubs<\/strong> will be set up to augment research and innovation<\/strong> for the development of technologies for bio-based products.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Bio Foundries and Biomanufacturing Hubs<\/strong> will aim at setting up of infrastructure\/ facilities for augmenting scale up of technologies <\/strong>for bio-based products.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • The policy aims to steer India on the path of accelerated ‘Green Growth’ by promoting ‘Circular Bioeconomy’.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0\n
                \n
              • A circular bioeconomy is a new economic model that emphasizes the use of renewable natural capital and focuses on minimizing waste, replacing the wide range of non-renewable, fossil-based products currently in use.<\/em>\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • The initiative will support India\u2019s commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions, while being constantly guided by the goal of equitable access, ethics and biosafety.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
