La Trobe University and the Bangalore Bioinnovation Centre (BBC) in Karnataka, India, have agreed to work together to share skills, infrastructure, and resources. This partnership was confirmed today by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
The Bangalore Bioinnovation Centre was set up by the Government of Karnataka and the Government of India. Its goal is to support new ideas and businesses in biotechnology.
The new Bio Innovation Corridor will help entrepreneurs, startups, researchers, and investors from both Karnataka and Victoria to collaborate. They will be able to use the facilities and expertise of both organisations to develop their technologies and get ready for the market.
This partnership will allow BBC companies and La Trobe researchers to test new biotechnology solutions. These solutions could be used in healthcare, food, and agriculture. The goal is to help these innovations grow, meet regulations, and be tested by customers in both regions.
Dr Mohamed Adil A.A, Managing Director of BBC, said the corridor will connect people from Karnataka and Victoria to share ideas and investment opportunities. He believes this will help create more successful companies and job opportunities.
Dr Adil said, “This partnership will help researchers and entrepreneurs from both areas to work together, get access to new markets, and attract investment. This will speed up innovation and help create successful businesses.”
La Trobe University’s Vice-Chancellor, Professor Theo Farrell, said the university is excited to help entrepreneurs and startups from Karnataka. They will be able to use the university’s facilities and support at its campuses in Melbourne and regional Victoria.
Professor Farrell added that La Trobe has opened a Bio Innovation Hub to help startup companies create new medical technologies and drug delivery solutions.
The MOU was signed by Professor Farrell and Dr Mohamed Adil at an event in Bangalore on 19 September 2024. This event highlighted the growing opportunities between Victoria and Karnataka in education and technology.

Dear Reader,The Indian Sun is an independent organisation committed to community journalism. We have, through the years, been able to reach a wide audience especially with the growth of social media, where we also have a strong presence. With platforms such as YouTube videos, we have been able to engage in different forms of storytelling. However, the past few years, like many media organisations around the world, it has not been an easy path. We have a greater challenge. We believe community journalism is very important for a multicultural country like Australia. We’re not able to do everything, but we aim for some of the most interesting stories and journalism of quality. We call upon readers like you to support us and make any contribution. Do make a DONATION NOW so we can continue with the volume and quality journalism that we are able to practice.
Thank you for your support.
Best wishes,
Team The Indian Sun
