The Venture Center has created a corpus in the name of “CII Biotechnology Resource Centre” which shall be exclusively used for the purposes of the CII-BRC. In the likely event that CII-BRC will eventually create its own dedicated facilities in the Pune region and establish itself as an independent entity, the corpus shall be moved into the new entity.
