Over 3,100 registrations across 33 States/UTs including metros, Tier II and Tier III cities/towns were received for NBEC 2020. 

Dr Renu Swarup, Secretary, Department of Biotechnology, Govt of India, in a message to all NBEC 2020 finalists said “The ecosystem wants you to grow bigger and become global leaders. That’s how we’ll realize our ambition of a self-reliant Atma Nirbhar Bharat, not just for India but for the greater world as well.”

The competition was held in phases starting from `Boot Camp and Mentoring Sessions’ with 54 startups and 19 student teams with mentorship support from scientific, investment, regulatory and legal experts. Of these, 18 startups and 10 student teams were selected by the Pre-Finals Jury to pitch at the Grand Finale. The Jury at the Grand Finale consisted of eminent experts representing the entire spectrum of biotech industry and investment sector. 

Asking NBEC 2020 finalists to keep the biotech flag flying high, Dr. Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, in a special address said “COVID-19 has opened up a world of opportunities for the biotech world. The pandemic has in fact, seen biotech leapfrogging into the most sought-after sector by venture capitalists looking to invest. NBEC is an exciting platform to capitalize on this.” 

Dr. Taslimarif Saiyed, CEO & Director, C-CAMP said “For an innovation-led, knowledge-based society, efforts like NBEC are crucial because they connect academia, entrepreneurs and industry to build together a strong and dynamic ecosystem. COVID-19 has underlined how critical such an ecosystem would be for India and beyond.”

Founding Member and Advisor, Kotak Investment Advisors and Grand Jury Chair of the Start-up Panel, Mr. Nitin Deshmukh, announced the winners among startups and Founder, Chairman and Managing Director, Persistent Systems, and Grand Jury Chair of the Student Panel, Dr. Anand Deshpande, the winners among student teams.  (India Science Wire)
