BIOPRO Baden-Württemberg Cluster
As the state-wide service agency, BIOPRO Baden-Württemberg provides targeted support to research institutions and companies in the biotechnology and life sciences sectors.
Biotechnology is an innovative cross-sectional technology that makes sustainable contributions to the positive development of the entire life sciences sector. These contributions will also have a considerable influence on progress in medicine, the pharmaceutical industry, agriculture and medical technology. High innovation potential can also be generated in traditional industry sectors through cooperative developments.
At the end of 2002, the Baden-Württemberg government established BIOPRO Baden-Württemberg GmbH as a wholly owned affiliate for the promotion of biotechnology in the state. The 12-person Stuttgart-based company under the leadership of Dr. Ralf Kindervater provides support to research institutions and companies in the biotechnology and life sciences sectors.
As Baden-Württemberg’s central point of contact for business development issues in the biotechnology and life sciences sectors, it is the task of BIOPRO Baden-Württemberg GmbH to optimally position the strengths of this leading biotechnology location on the national and international level at the same time as developing the location to ensure future sustainability. Specific business promotion measures help to secure know-how and jobs in the state as well as transferring the huge potential of innovative research to industrial applications. BIOPRO Baden-Württemberg GmbH's broad public relations work involves the dissemination of information about this highly innovative cross-sectional technology.
