Sector in brief
There are in fact several BioTech regions where companies from this sector with approx. 22,000 employees in total are concentrated. These include the BioTech region Munich/Martinsried with the Campus Martinsried-Großhadern as well as the BioTech regions Regensburg, Franconia and Straubing. To date, a total of more than 522 companies from the life science sector exist in Bavaria and the infrastructure offers space for even more players. Compared to the rest of Europe, Germany ranks third. This is due not least to the many nationally and internationally renowned research institutes based here in Bavaria.

One focus of the Bavarian biotechnology scene with almost 522 companies is the development of new therapeutics and diagnostics. To make it as easy as possible for new BioTech companies in Bavaria to enter the market, networks such as IGZ/BioMed Würzburg, BioPark Regensburg GmbHand BioM in Munich offer individual support, effective knowledge and technology transfer, advice on financing issues and integration into the well-developed network structures right from the start. More than 25 new biotechnology companies have joined the Bavarian network in the last two years alone. This positive development is very encouraging. In addition, the Biotechnology Cluster is successfully working on Bavaria’s uniform image as a biotechnology location, including at major trade fairs and international events.

elite universities in Bavaria prove the high expertise
A whole range of Bavarian universities such as the Ludwig Maximilian University and the Technical University of Munich prove the high expertise in biotechnological research and teaching. Just like the universities in Würzburg and Regensburg, they have gained international renown in this technology of the future. Numerous young academics with an excellent biotechnological education leave the universities year after year. They bring their newly acquired skills to the industry.
Biotechnology research in Bavaria also takes place in a number of renowned non-university research institutions such as the Helmholtz Center for Environmental Health as well as the Max Planck Institutes of Biochemistry, Neurobiology and Psychiatry. These more than 70 research institutes work closely with biotechnology companies and universities on cutting-edge biotechnological research. For example, the Helmholtz Center for Environmental Health in Munich with several development projects is part of the leading-edge "m4 – Personalised Medicine and Targeted Therapies: A New Dimension in Drug Development" cluster.
