The Institute’s founders believe that a highly focused approach is needed for building the right infrastructure and training in high-entry barrier fields, which could contribute to the long-term sustainable competitiveness and economic benefits to India. The Institute’s long term vision is thus to address the gaps, needs and competitiveness in a rapidly changing biomedical and biotechnology environment, which are closely tied to education, training and health. The Institute plans to provide and lead a dynamic and global forum for creating cross-sectional exchange of knowledge among the academic and industry scientists, and leaders and policy makers to augment and support new technologies, training and leadership opportunities and thus, reinforce competitiveness in the areas of health, education, food and agriculture, and the environment.
