The BioE3 (Biotechnology for Economy, Environment, and Employment) Policy of India aims to transform the country’s biomanufacturing sector by integrating cutting-edge biotechnological processes that improve efficiency, sustainability, and product quality. This policy lays out a framework of principles and guidelines to promote high-performance biomanufacturing across multiple sectors. Key highlights include fostering innovation-driven research and development, and encouraging entrepreneurship in priority thematic areas. To speed up technology development and commercialization, the policy envisions setting up dedicated Biomanufacturing Hubs and Biofoundries. In addition, it emphasizes promoting regenerative bioeconomy models focused on green growth, expanding India’s skilled workforce, and boosting employment opportunities. While BioE3 is designed primarily for economic, environmental, and employment purposes through green biomanufacturing, its biological manufacturing infrastructure and competencies can also be strategically relevant to the defence sector. Through policy alignment, shared infrastructure, workforce readiness, and coordinated planning, India’s advancements under BioE3 in biologicals could support defence needs, especially in medical countermeasures, biosecurity, and rapid biological response systems.
             Northeast India, a globally recognized biodiversity hotspot, holds immense untapped potential with its rich flora, fauna, and microbial resources that have proven value in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and industrial applications. Despite this wealth of bioresources, commercial exploration remains limited. Assam, in particular, has vast potential for developing bio-based healthcare, nutrition, and environmental solutions. However, the region’s biomanufacturing sector and startup ecosystem are still at an early stage and require urgent support from the scientific community to nurture entrepreneurship, ensure steady raw material supply, and strengthen the agro-economy.
             This conference seeks to bring together researchers, academicians, entrepreneurs, and policymakers from biotechnology and related fields onto a shared platform. By exchanging ideas and strategies, participants can help achieve the vision of the BioE3 Policy while aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Ultimately, this collaborative effort aims to drive inclusive economic growth, environmental stewardship, and social equity through sustainable biomanufacturing and innovation.

About Guwahati

Nestled on the southern banks of the mighty Brahmaputra River and embraced by rolling green hills, Guwahati is a city where nature and culture meet in harmonious rhythm. Known as the “Gateway to the Northeast,” it is both a bustling urban hub and a serene retreat, where ancient temples whisper tales of devotion and vibrant markets hum with life. The iconic Kamakhya Temple crowns the Nilachal Hills, drawing pilgrims from across the world, while the gentle sunsets over the Brahmaputra paint the skyline in golden hues. The city’s charm lies in its unique blend: the fragrance of Assamese tea in the air, the melody of Bihu songs, the graceful sway of bamboo groves, and the warm hospitality of its people. From the sacred to the scenic, from street food delights to cultural festivals, Guwahati is more than just a city; it is a living tapestry of traditions, nature’s beauty, and the spirit of the Northeast.
