BioPower is a catalyst for strong and innovative
partnerships between the government, private
sector and ICRISAT. One of the mechanisms for
establishing these novel three-way partnerships
is the
Agri-Business Incubator facility of the
Agri-Science Park at ICRISAT Headquarters in
Patancheru, Andhra Pradesh, India.
The Agri-Science Park is the means by which
ICRISAT fosters the uptake of its most promising
technologies by the private and public sectors,
in order to accelerate their impact to benefit
the dryland poor. The Park and the Incubator
provide a hub where the public and private
sectors can exchange ideas and work hand-in-hand
to create a seamless, expeditious flow of
innovation from lab to land.
ICRISAT, including BioPower are investigating
ways to spread this innovative Incubator model
to Africa.
