The concept of Genome Valley was envisioned by [[Krishna Ella|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 [[Andhra Pradesh (1956–2014)|Government Andhra Pradesh]] in 1999 as ''S. P. Biotech Park'' in a public-private partnership with [[Bharat Biotech|Bharat Biotech International]], and its founder [[Krishna Ella]], alongside private infrastructure companies such as [[Shapoorji Pallonji Group]] and [[ICICI Bank]].<ref>{{cite web|author=rediff|url=http://www.rediff.com/business/slide-show/slide-show-1-meet-the-man-behind-indias-genome-valley/20110107.htm|title=Genome valley history|date=|accessdate=2012-08-21}}</ref>

===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.<ref>{{cite news|author=The Hindu|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-andhrapradesh/alexandria-to-invest-1000-cr-in-genome-valley/article288543.ece|title=Alexandria to invest 1000 cr in genome valley|website=[[The Hindu]] |date=21 May 2009|accessdate=2012-08-21}}</ref> The bio-cluster at [[Shamirpet]] holds [[Certification mark]] by the [[United States Patent and Trademark Office]] and the [[European Union]].<ref>Hyderabad's Genome Valley gets US certification, Indo Asian News Service Friday, 6 July 2007 | publisher=india-forums.com</ref>

===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".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iciciknowledgepark.com/icicikp/iciciinnerfiles/genomevalley.htm%7ctitle=iciciknowledgepark.com%7cwork=iciciknowledgepark.com|title=iciciknowledgepark.com|access-date=20 September 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924032550/http://www.iciciknowledgepark.com/icicikp/iciciinnerfiles/genomevalley.htm%7ctitle=iciciknowledgepark.com%7cwork=iciciknowledgepark.com#|archive-date=24 September 2015|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}</ref> 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.
