The Biotech Parks and Bitoech Incubation Centres provide an excellent template for the promotion of Biotech start -up companies and the promotion of Public Private Partnership. Biotech Parks are facilities created mainly to promote tiny, small and medium biotech entrepreneurs. The Biotechnology Parks and Biotech Incubation Centres provided a good template for the promotion of Biotech start up companies and the promotion of Public Private Partnerships. Biotechnology has the potential to provide environment friendly products and processes in almost all areas of economy. The biotech industry included either service driven companies, or product driven companies. In India, biotechnology has created lot of employment especially in agriculture and allied sectors.
Tiny and small entrepreneurs can initiate modern biotech products if they come from academia with proof of concepts with them. Such possessions require a backup of basis research with potentials of applications. The Indian Academia is not based upon the application-oriented research; there may not be many who are ready to come forward to take a business risk.
Biotechnology parks are established to facilitate product advancement and innovation through the development of biotechnology industrial cluster and to produce biotechnologists and entrepreneurs who have strong foundation in research and innovation.
With large number of multinational and bio-pharma companies initiating their R&D and manufacturing operations in India, the demand of biotech incubators has increased.
Both Central and State Governments are making their earnest efforts to promote biotechnology activities in the country by setting up biotechnology parks, incubators as well as pilot projects through public private partnership. DBT has supported the following biotechnology parks and incubation centres located in different states for the promotion of Biotech start-up companies and the promotion of Public Private Partnerships.

Biotech companies located at biotech parks are eligible for benefits as per the recent changes in the Foreign Trade Policy:
A scheme will be put in place for operationalizing of the incentives to biotech units located in biotech parks. As a part of this scheme biotech company located in biotech parks to be allowed a five-year time frame to meet the export obligation norms under the SEZ scheme. This measure helps to address the long and unpredictable gestational time lines that are inherent to biotech product development. Diverse array of biotech parks creates healthy competition.
1. Agri Science Park, Hyderabad
The Government of Andhra Pradesh has established the Agri Science Park (ASP) in collaboration with International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) in December 2003.
