Berlin and Brandenburg offer excellent development opportunities for biotech companies. The region features a unique environment with many universities and research institutes, which ease the startup for 10 to 20 biotechnology companies each year. Seven technology parks within close reach add a convenience that is unique for Germany.
Many networking opportunities facilitate the collaboration between business and science. These networks have given our university hospitals the lead in the nation when it comes to securing grants and subsidies. The region offers a unique technical infrastructure. An additional advantage is the fact that the most relevant German authorities have their headquarters in Berlin-Brandenburg. The presence of the Robert-Koch Institute offers even more benefits as the central research and reference facility of the German Federal Ministry of Health for the biomedical sciences and the gene technology.
Especially American and Asian companies will experience our metropolitan region as an ideal site for their research projects. Proprietary research and developments in Berlin-Brandenburg as well as strategic alliances with local companies facilitate innovations and approvals.
The MBA BioMedTech with its unique qualification programme for the life science sector fits ideally in the biotechnology cluster of the region and is supported by several partners.
