Genome Valley is a Biopharmaceutical and high-technology business district spread across 600 km² in Hyderabad, India. Covering Shameerpet, Medchal, Uppal, Patancheru, Jeedimetla, Gachibowli and Keesara, the Valley has developed as a natural cluster for life science research, training and manufacturing. [2] The Biocluster at Shameerpet has been systematically developed by the Government of Andhra Pradesh to provide facilities to over 100 life science companies.[3][4]

Biocluster

The IKP Knowledge ParkTM spread over 200 acres in Turkapally, is a joint initiative of ICICI Bank.[11] With five innovation corridors, IKP is the first of its kind knowledge-nurturing centre for Indian companies and a knowledge gateway for multinational companies. The first phase of Innovation Corridor I, comprising 10 laboratories, around 3,000 ft² (300 m²) each, is operational and fully occupied. The second phase of Innovation Corridor I, comprising 16 laboratory modules of 1,700 ft² (170 m²) each, is ready for operation.

The Alexandria Knowledge ParkTM spread over 300 acres in Turkapally, is developed in a Public Private Partnership mode. The Park has been successful in creating a vibrant cluster of life science companies - from large multinationals to start-ups. It accommodates advance research and development infrastructure in multiple formats like multi-tenanted research buildings, incubation facilities, build-to-suit blocks and industrial plots. The Park has been developed in two phases. Phase I covers approximately 145 acres and Phase II covers approximately 162 acres of land.
