The programme is an industry-Academia Collaborative Mission for accelerating biopharmaceutical development in the country. 

Key features: 

  • Innovate in India (i3): Under this Mission, the Government has launched Innovate in India (i3) programme to create an enabling ecosystem to promote entrepreneurship and indigenous manufacturing in the sector. 
  • Implementation: The mission will be implemented by Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (BIRAC). 
  • World Bank loan: The mission was approved in 2017 at a total cost of Rs 1500 crore and is 50% co-funded by World Bank loan. 
  • It is managed through a dedicated Program Management Unit (PMU) at BIRAC. Together with National and International experts, the most promising projects are selected in response to open Request for Applications issued by the PMU. 
  • The oversight to the mission activities is provided by the inter-ministerial Steering Committee chaired by the Secretary-DBT. The Technical Advisory Group (TAG) provides approval and reviews scientific progress of its components. 
  • Further downstream, domain specific Scientific Advisory Groups (SAG), each for the activities/ product development partnerships, are responsible for providing scientific decision making and knowledge and oversight necessary for TAG.
  • Promotion of entrepreneurship: The program is promoting entrepreneurship by supporting small and medium enterprises for indigenous product development (Novel Cell lines, indigenously developed Biologics, devices and Raw materials for Biologics manufacturing) and through establishment of shared facilities and Technology Transfer Offices.
