The park
Where Kerala builds
life sciences.
Bio 360.
Bio 360 Life Sciences Park is Kerala's integrated hub for biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, medical devices and healthcare innovation. Spread across 200 acres at Thonnakkal in Thiruvananthapuram, it gives a life sciences company everything it needs in one place - land, labs, utilities and neighbours working on the same problems.
Bio Connect 4.0 is how that campus opens up. Two days to meet the people building it, see what already runs there, and find your own place in it.
