IBM to support Maharashtra in developing quantum computing initiative
Global tech giant IBM on Wednesday said it will support Maharashtra in developing its quantum computing initiative. The US-headquartered company having a presence in the western state also signed a letter of intent with the Maharashtra government to identify opportunities of support for the state's quantum initiatives, as per a statement. IBM will offer expertise, which Maharashtra may use to help craft its own quantum initiative, and also contribute to the development of the state's quantum ecosystem through workshops and other skills development efforts. "Through our collaboration with IBM, we will harness quantum innovation to transform lives, while building a skilled talent pool to democratise its benefits and make them accessible to every citizen of the state," Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis said. The company's general manager for Asia Pacific Hans Dekkers said the effort should be seen as a commitment to help Maharashtra build its own vibrant quantum ecosystem. IBM India and south Asia's Managing Director Sandip Patel welcomed the opportunity to engage with the state government on advancing quantum computing skills. Fadnavis on Wednesday inaugurated the tech major's client experience centre at a new facility in the country's financial capital which is designed to support Indian enterprises' use of AI, hybrid cloud, and quantum computing. The centre will serve as a place where experts from the company and partners can create solutions for India's business challenges. It will also have solutions and services from the company's AI portfolio, including the watsonx platform, data and automation, cybersecurity, hybrid cloud, and consulting-led transformation.

India–Australia bioinnovation corridor launches cross border tech accelerator
The Bangalore Bioinnovation Centre (BBC) and La Trobe University (LTU), Australia, have launched the Ind–Aus Launchpad Programme, a cross-border accelerator designed to fast-track high-potential biotech, digital health, and sustainable technology startups for global initiative builds on the Bioinnovation Exchange Corridor, established under a September 2024 MoU between the State of Victoria and the State of Karnataka. Supported by the Department of IT, BT and S&T, Government of Karnataka, and the Victorian Government, the corridor integrates the startup ecosystems of Bengaluru and Melbourne, enabling joint R&D, advanced prototyping, and rapid commercialization in sectors including digital health, sustainable agriculture, precision medicine, and environmental resilience. The programme's first cohort of 11 Indian startups underwent an intensive 12-week pre-accelerator at BBC, combining shared lab and prototyping facilities, market access simulations, IP advisory services, and advanced TRL (Technology Readiness Level) assessments. Startups were also evaluated on Commercialization Readiness Level (CRL) and Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) to ensure technology viability and scalability. Following this process, three startups were selected for a fully sponsored immersion programme at LTU's Bio Innovation Hub in Melbourne: 1. Microbeworks Scientific – Developing bioengineered microbial dyes to replace toxic synthetic dyes in textiles, with potential to reduce water contamination by up to 90%. 2. HornetBiologicals – Using RT-PCR and microarray-based genetic screening to improve livestock breeding productivity by over 30%. 3. IMRobonix – Creator of SurgiKot, India's first robotic handheld device for precision-driven minimally invasive surgeries, integrating AI-guided navigation. The Melbourne immersion includes co-location with LTU researchers, regulatory readiness workshops, investor roundtables, and product-market feasibility studies for Australia and global markets. Over the next phase, the programme will add a one-month onsite immersion, 12-month virtual residency, and cross-border co-innovation sprints for startups from both India and Australia. 'The Ind–Aus. Launchpad operationalizes a global innovation pipeline — giving startups real-world access to R&D infrastructure, regulatory expertise, and market intelligence,' said Dr Mohamed Adil A.A, Managing Director, BBC. 'This is a two-way bridge between two leading innovation economies, designed to deliver deep-tech and digital health solutions with global relevance,' added Professor Theo Farrell, Vice-Chancellor, La Trobe University. With global biotech expected to reach USD 3.88 trillion by 2030 (Grand View Research), and India projected to become a USD 150 billion bioeconomy by 2025, the corridor exemplifies how international innovation diplomacy can accelerate the translation of research into market-ready technologies. By linking India's high-growth startup ecosystem with Australia's advanced research infrastructure, the Ind–Aus. Launchpad positions both economies to address shared challenges in health, sustainability, and technology-led growth.

Young Talents from India Complete International Cybersecurity Bootcamp in Russia
Moscow, Russia – Business Wire India Moscow recently hosted Positive Hack Camp, a global educational program designed for the next generation of cybersecurity professionals. Over two weeks, more than 90 young specialists from 25 countries took part in intensive, hands-on training delivered by leading industry experts, with support from Russia's Ministry of Digital Development. A group of participants from India also joined the event. "Positive Hack Camp is a very important initiative that brings together young minds who can contribute to a safer digital space. As we all increase our digital activities, including banking and payments, we are also becoming more exposed to cyber vulnerabilities. This initiative will help address those vulnerabilities and create a more secure cyberspace. I am sure that the Indian participants will contribute greatly to the camp," said Vinay Kumar, Ambassador of India to The Russian Federation. The curriculum was developed in collaboration with CyberED, a project of the Cyberus Foundation dedicated to promoting result-driven cybersecurity. It covered today's most important topics: from network infrastructure scanning and social engineering techniques to web application testing and professional ethics. Beyond the intensive learning sessions, participants also experienced the vibrant culture of Russia, exploring Moscow's famous landmarks and discovering the country's rich historical heritage. "During the camp, I gained a much deeper understanding of how to approach problems in cybersecurity. The instructors not only taught tools and techniques but also shared their mindset for effective problem-solving. Personally, I particularly enjoyed the privilege escalation sessions, which gave me new perspectives to explore. This camp emphasized that cybersecurity is an ever-evolving field where you are always a student, regardless of your experience," noted Samrudh Kashyap, a participant from India.
