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.

The Assam Royal Global University (RGU), one of the premium universities in India, has continuously acted as a leadership platform that aligns the interests of industries, entrepreneurs, and the youth since its establishment in 2017. Aimed at creating and sustaining an environment wherein employment and entrepreneurship can flourish with collaborative efforts amongst an extensive network of influential corporate, individual members, and academic institutes, The Assam Royal Global University has been able to provide the necessary resources, knowledge, and support to create effective employment and entrepreneurship opportunities.
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.
