The bioinformatics and biotechnology industries are still fledgling in India, and young companies in this sector benefit tremendously from the expertise they can access through the incubation process. This is precisely why IBAB has taken the initiative to incubate several companies.

Apart from providing necessary infrastructure, IBAB also facilitates its incubatees through mentorship, networks and opportunities to collaborate with its faculty. So far, 25 startups have been incubated. This includes companies set up by alumni, such as DeNovo Biolabs. Cellworks Group, which acquired venture capital and expanded to the US is a good example of a successful incubatee. Several of the start-ups have been doing exceedingly well, including winning national-level competitions and receiving prestigious funding.
