The Telangana government has inked an MoU with Singapore-based engineering & consulting firm Surbana Jurong for Genome Valley 2.0.
The pharma-biotech cluster has emerged as the largest life sciences destination in Asia, being home to over 200 companies employing 10,000 people.
Global majors such as Novartis, GlaxoSmithKline, Mylan, DuPont, US Pharmacopeia among others are present in the cluster. Genome Valley 2.0 is a vision to upgrade the cluster into a world-class knowledge-led integrated corridor in a self-sufficient life sciences ecosystem.
The cluster, which currently is an industrial hub, is being envisioned to transform into an industry-led, knowledge-based ecosystem.
