Imperial College London and the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Platforms (C-CAMP) in Bengaluru signed a Memorandum of Understanding on 6 May 2026 to establish the Indo-UK Life Sciences Innovation Corridor, a five-year cross-border partnership designed to connect research and entrepreneurship ecosystems across the two countries. The Corridor aims to foster a long-term vision for bilateral innovation, create a formalised two-way knowledge and evidence sharing system, and enable the exchange of researchers, innovators, and startups between India and the UK. One of the novel initiatives planned under the Corridor is a bi-directional exchange mechanism, allowing UK-based teams to assess deployment readiness in India and India-based teams to explore deployment avenues in the UK and potentially Europe, given contextual similarities between the markets. The partnership will also explore joint fundraising pathways to ensure the programme's long-term sustainability and scalability. The agreement was signed at C-CAMP's premises in Bengaluru and sits within the broader Imperial Global India initiative, which Imperial launched last year to drive high-impact science and technology programmes with academic, industrial, and innovation partners in India, and to support a two-way flow of STEMB talent between the two countries. https://www.imperial.ac.uk/news/articles/2026/c-camp-partners-with-imperial-college-london-to-launch-the-indo-uk-life-sciences-innovation-corridor-for-cooperation-in-biology-research-and-entrepreneurship--/
