BBC is the brainchild of the govt of Karnataka set up in 2016 to foster innovation among biotechnology professionals and entrepreneurs. It has finaincial help from the central government too. The centre offers superior lab testing and culture facilities in the facility for budding entrepreneurs. There are 41 startups working there presently almost 5 outcomes from BBC are already commercialized.
Biotechnology is classified as green- agriculture, blue marine, grey - industry and red - medical. The developments in this area are happening so fast and finding great commercial realization and acceptance that we at ASB decided to give more attention to the field of biotechnology.
Non availability of funds, long periods of incubation, non availability of manpower, high quality calibrated labs and equipments are some of the problems faced by most biotech startups. BBC tries to solve them to an extent.
Prof Manjunath deserves a big thanks for providing us with this opportunity to visit BBC. His own startup Nano bubbles in BBC helps using existing technology to clean sewage water more efficiently occupying less space and practically zero rotating equipment and power.
