India launches new Bio-RIDE programme to boost biotechnology
Emphasis will be placed on environmentally sustainable production methods
The Indian government has announced the launch of Bio-RIDE, a new programme aimed at accelerating the development of the country's biotechnology sector. The programme aims to boost research, entrepreneurship, bioproduction, and bioprocessing. This is reported by Prensa Latina, a partner of TV BRICS.
Bio-RIDE aims to bridge the gap between academic research and industrial applications by facilitating the development and introduction of innovative bio-based products.
The programme aims to grow the Indian biotechnology sector by combining funding, start-up support, cross-sector collaboration, and environmental sustainability. It will provide grants for cutting-edge research in synthetic biology, biopharmaceuticals, bioenergy, and bioplastics.
The programme will stimulate collaboration between universities, research centres, and industry to accelerate the commercialisation of new biological products and technologies.
Emphasis will be placed on environmentally sustainable production methods consistent with India's environmental goals.
Bio-RIDE is expected to accelerate scientific and technological advances in agriculture, health, bioenergy, and environmental sustainability, as well as support young researchers and scientists by fostering the development of a closed-loop bioeconomy and bioproduction.
The programme is launched as part of achieving a $300 billion bioeconomy by 2030.

Ashok MondalNID Director"Signing this Memorandum of Understanding between the National Institute of Design (NID) and TV BRICS marks a pivotal milestone in advancing design diplomacy across the BRICS media space. This moment is especially significant as India hosts the 18th BRICS Summit, following India’s assumption of the BRICS chairship under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. The partnership directly embodies his call to elevate Indian design standards through 'Design in India, Design for the World'. Through the global reach and broadcast capabilities of TV BRICS, we are excited to showcase the extraordinary visual storytelling, films, and design research of NID’s Film and Video Communication students to an international audience, while also welcoming and screening film works from BRICS network countries at NID Ahmedabad. This reciprocal exchange strengthens our shared commitment to educational, cultural, and artistic collaboration, fostering sustainable connections among global creative communities. NID Ahmedabad looks forward to leveraging this partnership to deepen cross-cultural dialogue, build international expert networks, and unlock transformative opportunities for filmmakers, researchers, and faculty across member nations" -
