Genome Valley is now into its Phase III, which is about 11 kms from the Phase I and II with the total area approximately 2,000-acre (8.1 km$^2$).

## History

* Biopharma manufacturing unit of Bharat Biotech near the Biocluster
* Biopharma manufacturing unit of Shantha Biotechnics near the Biocluster
* Biopharma Finished Dosage Unit of Dr. Reddy's Laboratories
* GVK Biosciences
* API manufacturing unit of Granules India Limited in Jeedimetla
* Vimta Labs Life Sciences Center near the Biocluster
* Itaan Pharma Private Ltd unit near Karkapatla
The concept of Genome Valley was envisioned by Dr. Krishna Ella, the founder of Bharat Biotech. He proposed the idea of creating a dedicated biotech hub that would bring together research, development, and manufacturing facilities in the life sciences sector. The realization of Genome Valley as a world-class biotech hub was driven by the efforts of N. Chandrababu Naidu, the then Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh (before the bifurcation of the state into Andhra Pradesh and Telangana).
Genome Valley was commissioned by the then combined Government Andhra Pradesh in 1999 as S. P. Biotech Park in a public-private partnership with Bharat Biotech International, and its founder Krishna Ella, alongside private infrastructure companies such as Shapoorji Pallonji Group and ICICI Bank.

### Alexandria Knowledge Park SEZ

In 2009, U.S.-based infrastructure giant Alexandria Real Estate Equities has announced its plans to invest in the bio-cluster, which led to the Alexandria Knowledge Park SEZ. The bio-cluster at Shamirpet holds Certification mark by the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the European Union.

### IKP Knowledge Park

The IKP Knowledge Park is spread over 200 acres in Turakapally, is an initiative of ICICI Bank with five "innovation corridors" - a first of its kind knowledge-nurturing centre for Indian companies and a knowledge gateway for multinational companies". The first phase of Innovation Corridor I, comprising 10 laboratories, around 3,000 ft² (300 m²) each, is operational and fully occupied. The second phase of Innovation Corridor I, comprising 16 laboratory modules of 1,700 ft² (170 m²) each, is ready for operation.
