Interdisciplinary Agency BIOTECH

IA-BIOTECH is a network spanning fields of technology in East Bavaria mediating cooperation between biotechnology companies, academic working groups and companies in other established fields to promote the development of innovative products and the linking of new business fields.
Biotechnology, acting as an interface, can be applied in many fields of other branches of technology or linked with other types of technology. The concept of “interdisciplinary applications” means the linking of technologies from originally different branches of the industry and represents a significant leap in innovation.
IA-BIOTECH is the result of a study conducted by the consulting company Capgemini Consulting on potential interdisciplinary links for biotechnology in Regensburg and in the region of East Bavaria (press release 03/2007). Should you wish to receive a copy of the info-folder on the IA-Agency in print, it would be our pleasure to send you this on request.
