Welcome to our presentation…

2. National Institute of Biotechology
(NIB)
History
• 2001.The ‘National Institute of Biotechnology’ project
started in July 1999 and ended in September 2007.
• 2007.Foundation stone of NIB was laid by Hon’ble
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on 14 May, 2000.

3.  Mission
To create an institutional space for research, technology transfer and human resource
development for developing ecofriendly biotech products that will ensure welfare of the
people.
 Vision
The institute is committed to create a strong infrastructure both for research and
commercialization ensuring a steady flow of bioproducts, bioprocesses and new
biotechnologies. The institute will serve the country as the coordinating center of
biotechnology research and promote awareness on biotechnological innovations and
technologies. Finally, the institute will engage, excite and trained up young people about
biotechnology and its immense potential to heal the sick, feed the hungry, restore the
environment, and fuel the economy.

 Recruitment is also on-going

11. Incubation center
(NIB’s future scheme)
 Incubation center will provide the advantages of product commercialization
from lab scale to industrial scale.
 It will give access to private company and entrepreneur for their own research
and product development.
 It’s target is to be give lab facilities centrally.
 It will be consisting of 40 labs and 15 supporting labs .
