SCOPE
Biotechnology has applications in four major areas: (i) health care (medical), (ii) crop production and agriculture, (iii) non food (industrial) uses of crops and other products (e.g., bio-degradable plastics, vegetable oil, bio-fuels, textiles, paper) and (iv) environmental uses. Biotechnology industry in India has been registering phenomenal growth in the recent past. India is ranked among the top 12 biotechnology destinations in the world and the Indian biotechnology sector is the second largest in Asia. TamilNadu, with its abundant intellectual and human resources, is fast emerging as an innovation and knowledge-driven economy, and is ideally positioned to reap the benefits in the Biotechnology sector. Besides the above, the following thrust areas offer tremendous scope for potential investment in the Biotechnology sector:
- Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology
- Human Genetics and Genome Analysis
- Environmental Biotechnology
- Microbial and Industrial Biotechnology
