KeyGene is active in Indian markets since 10 years ago and aims to establish strategic collaborations with the Indian agro food based companies. KeyGene joined the Dutch trade mission to India this May headed by its prime minister Mr. Mark Rutte.

“We are very pleased to welcome KeyGene to the vibrant biotech and life sciences ecosystem of Hyderabad and Telangana”, says Mr. K T Rama Rao, Minister of Industries & Commerce, Govt. of Telangana. He adds: “Hyderabad has emerged as an undisputed leader in Life Sciences and is also known as the seed capital of India with large number of global/Indian agri companies/institutions like ICRISAT, Dupont, Bayer Crop Sciences, CCMB, among others. Entry of KeyGene re-emphasizes the dominant position that Hyderabad enjoys in the Life Sciences and Agri sectors. Furthermore, in a first of its kind initiative, more than 30 top academic, agriculture and scientific research institutes in Hyderabad along with the Government of Telangana, have come together to form - RICH, the Research and Innovation Circle of Hyderabad with an objective of assisting people and institutions working in silos to maximize the research potential and provide a clear path for a promising idea or a research work to graduate into a commercial proposition in close association with industry.
