ABLE was honoured to participate in the Maharashtra Bio-Next Roundtable at the Bengaluru Tech Summit 2025, a high-level dialogue convened by the Government of Maharashtra – Industries Department to advance the state’s ambition of becoming a global hub for health, biotechnology and bio-manufacturing.

Maharashtra currently contributes over one-third of India’s biopharma output and is home to more than 1,600 biotechnology startups, making it one of the country’s most powerful innovation engines. The Bio-Next Mission aims to further accelerate this leadership through a comprehensive growth strategy that includes a forward-looking biosciences policy, the creation of dedicated bio-investment zones, a proposed ?1,000-crore Bio-Innovation Fund, and deeper industry–academia–government collaboration.

During the roundtable, ABLE shared strategic inputs on policy frameworks, biomanufacturing capacity, and innovation pathways that can help unlock the next phase of growth and strengthen Maharashtra’s role in India’s $165-billion bioeconomy.

ABLE looks forward to continuing its close engagement with the Government of Maharashtra under the Bio-Next initiative, working together to create new opportunities for startups, investors and innovators and to drive globally competitive, sustainable bio-based growth.
