By Biotech Express on March 16, 2021 Biotech News

ASPIRE-BioNEST, UoH has been recently selected as ‘‘The Best Emerging Bioincubator in the country’’, announced in the valedictory function of Global BioIndia 2021.

Global BioIndia is a biannual conference conducted by Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (BIRAC), DBT, Govt. of India, in the presence of Hon’ble Vice President Sri M. Venkaiah Naidu and Hon’ble Minister of Science & Technology, Dr. Harsh Vardhan. Incidentally, ASPIRE BioNEST has celebrated its third foundation day on 2nd March 2021.

‘‘ASPIRE-BioNEST incubation center provides an ideal infrastructure and supporting system enabling startup companies to establish and succeed in their ventures. Interested startups may contact all around the year in the office of BioNEST UoH’’.

ASPIRE BioNEST is a Life Sciences incubator, set-up with the support of BIRAC in 2018, by renowned Biochemist Prof. G. Padmanaban of Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore – who applauded it “By Far, The Best Bio-incubator”. BioNEST is located on the 3rd floor of the School of Life Sciences at University of Hyderabad.

University of Hyderabad (UoH), established in 1974, has been recognised recently as the Institute of Eminence. Moving forward, the UoH is endeavouring to create an enabling and vibrant ecosystem for translating part of its research into novel, innovative and commercially viable technologies, products and services. Towards this, as a first measure, the University had created over 40000 sft sophisticated plug and play incubation space organised in three independent incubation centres (ICs) under a not-for-profit section 8 company named “Association for Scientific Pursuits for Innovative Research Enterprises (ASPIRE)”. These ICs viz. ASPIRE-TBI (supported by DST), ASPIRE-TIDE (supported by MEITy) and ASPIRE-BioNEST (supported by BIRAC/DBT) are equipped with state of the art instrumentation infrastructure covering almost all the major areas of research in the campus.

ASPIRE manages all incubation and innovation activities in the campus and has been recognized by Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR) certification, independent Institutional Bio Safety committee (IBSC).
ASPIRE BioNEST, formed as a knowledge-based incubator, nurtures innovation and entrepreneurship in scaling technologies of Agriculture, Biotechnology, Healthcare, Pharmaceutical, and allied areas. ASPIRE BioNEST is a deep science incubator with 20000 sft dedicated plug-and-play laboratory space equipped with modern instrumentation to perform any research in Life Sciences. Presently, there are 26 incubatees and ASPIRE BioNEST offers incubation services mainly to the start-ups who are actively working to address the pressing needs like medical requirements, environment protection, agricultural innovations, human wellness, animal ethics etc. ASPIRE BioNEST also encourages and supports young budding individual entrepreneurs through bench space incubation. For selecting start-ups for incubation, ASPIRE BioNEST follows stringent selection criteria with the help of a Project Appraisal Committee that mainly focuses on novelty, feasibility, commercial potential, social impact, scalability and economic viability of ideas. The facility has been recognized by Department of Scientific & Industrial Research and at least 10 competitive grants have been bagged by its start-ups. ASPIRE BioNEST provides its facilities to start-up entrepreneurs at a minimal charge (License fee), to meet the operational expense of the facility. Revenues generated through operations & services are utilised for improving the facilities so as to cater the increasing needs of the start-ups. Some portion of the revenues are spent for student awareness programmes and workshops to encourage new ideas and translating them into technologies through Pre-Incubation programme.
