German BioRegions
50 million DM for research projects inbiotechnology for three model regions:
BioRegio Rhineland (Köln, Bonn, Achen)BioRegion Rhine-Neckar-Triangle (Heidelberg)Biotechnology Munich (München)
plus20 million DM for the special region:
BioRegio Jena
BioRegio Funding
Source: BioRegion Rhine-Neckar-Triangle
Conditions for BioRegio Funding
The perspective of a short or medium-term commercialisation of the results, preferentially by foundinga biotech company
The commercial realization of the results within the region
The confinancing of the project by private capital, generallywith at least 50 % of the total cost of the project
Time span: 1st Jan 1997 – 31st Dec 2001

Selecting projects for BioRegio Funding
I. Criteria
Scientific Quality
Competitiveness (patent situation)
Creation of Jobs
Focus on regional strengthSource: BioRegion Rhine-Neckar-Triangle
Since the launch of the BioRegio Contest in 1997:
• 55 new biotech companies in the Heidelberg BioCluster
• 45 research-driven companies in molecular biotechnology
• 1.800 jobs created directly in biotech companies
• 1.500 jobs in research-driven biotech companies
• 8.000 jobs in the industry and 6.000 jobs in research institutions are dependent on biotechnology

'Building a competitive European biotechnology sector on the world stage’
'Building a competitive European biotechnology sector on the world stage’
CEBR – the need….an observation on European
biotech • Hundreds of small companies across Europe• A need to work together for best result in competitive
world market• Diverse sources of assistance – not always
apparent/easily accessible
Founded on excellent science but must operate effectively to succeed
'Building a competitive European biotechnology sector on the world stage’
CEBR – the history
• Small group with common interest:
– Improving practical support for their biocommunities
– Creating network with appropriate/best point of contact in every biocommunity
– Promoting European biotechnology• Network outline developed• Funding achieved
'Building a competitive European biotechnology sector on the world stage’
CEBR – what it can offer
• Operational support – companies should succeed on science, not fail on business practice
• Europe-wide biotechnology network – rapid access to biotechs
• Promotion of European biotechnology on world stage
• Signposts to what works well
'Building a competitive European biotechnology sector on the world stage’
CEBR – what it does
…. The ‘golden rules’
• ‘Bottom up’ – driven by biotech’s practical needs
• Activities with direct benefit to biotechs
• Working network – proactive members
• Co-operation: co-operate to compete
