The past few months have been encouraging for India’s biotechnology sector and for ABLE’s continued efforts to strengthen the country’s BioEconomy ecosystem.

We successfully organized the BioEconomy Conclave 2026, themed “Synthesizing Biology and Bits – The Dawn of the Biodigital BioEconomy.” The conclave brought together policymakers, industry leaders, scientists, investors and innovators to explore the growing convergence of biology, artificial intelligence and digital technologies—an important driver for India’s journey towards a $300 billion BioEconomy by 2030.

During this period, two states released their BioEconomy Reports, the Karnataka BioEconomy Report (KBER) 2025 and Tamil Nadu BioVision 2026, both prepared by ABLE for the Governments of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, respectively. These documents provide strategic insights into opportunities to grow their states bioeconomy and other policy initiatives to support this growth. ABLE was invited to be a part of the BioEconomy Taskforce meeting by IISER Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh.

ABLE also continued its ecosystem engagement through platforms such as the BIO-X India World Expo 2026 and the Rajasthan Biotech Conclave 2026, fostering dialogue and collaboration across the sector.

As we move forward, we encourage members to participate in the India Pavilion at the BIO International Convention 2026 in San Diego, coordinated by ABLE which offers a valuable opportunity to showcase innovations, build global partnerships and strengthen India’s presence in the global biotechnology ecosystem. We are also planning startup delegations to the US and the UK to help emerging companies explore collaborations and expand market access.
