UK-India Bioprinting Platform

We are proud to launch this virtual platform as a gateway to forge dynamic collaborations between the UK and India in the cutting-edge field of Bioprinting and beyond. Spearheaded by the Henry Royce Institute (HRI), UK and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, India. This initiative brings together trailblazers from academia, industry, startups, and research institutions to co-create the future of bioengineering.

Bioprinting is rapidly redefining possibilities in regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, and biomedical innovation. By harnessing the complementary strengths of both nations - India's growing innovation ecosystem and the UK's advanced research capabilities - we aim to accelerate impactful discoveries and translational outcomes.

This platform is designed to connect, collaborate, and catalyze. Whether you are a researcher, entrepreneur, or investor, your ideas and expertise can spark new partnerships that address real-world health and technology challenges.
