About the Program:
BIRAC promotes the development of products / technologies by Indian start-ups in different fields of biotechnology through various funding programs such as BIG, BIPP, SBIRI, PACE, IIPME, SPARSH, through various partnership programs such as Grand Challenges India , National Biopharma Mission, WISH or as innovation awards like TiE Winer. The technologies supported by BIRAC are continuously monitored and measured for technology maturation on a BIRAC-TRL (Technology Readiness Level) scale 1 to 9. The existing BIRAC programs support product development, from extensive validation through to pre-market. Once the technology / product has been successfully validated (≥TRL 7) and is market ready, there are additional financial requirements to set the stage for market launch, validation of tests in targeted markets and large-scale marketing, which is not covered by funding programs. To deal with the situation, BIRAC launched the Product Marketing Program Fund (PCP Fund) under the BIRAC Product Marketing Program (PCP).
