BioPark Regensburg – Winners in the Land of Ideas Competition
“Germany – the Land of Ideas” is a shared location initiative of the German Government and Economy. The goal is to emphasise the strengths of economic location with the motto “Germany leads through innovation”. The project “365 Locations in the Land of Ideas” was first announced in 2006. Every day one of the winners of the competition could present their ideas to the public. The jury of 17 chose BioPark Regensburg GmbH in the third competitive tendering for 2008 from 1,500 applicants. The jury honoured the innovative approach of the City of Regensburg in the field of “Life Sciences”. Through constant economic promotion and creation of the necessary infrastructure, the ideas from tertiary institutions could be transformed into innovative companies and products in Regensburg. Initially through the Foundation and Biotechnology Centre with 12,000 sqm and successful cluster management, most of the founders of the BioRegio Regensburg were able to accelerate and are today successful companies in Regensburg. The BioPark has distinguished itself in the field of public relations work with comprehensive events such as Art and Biotechnology, Open Day, and Adult Education both for school and university students. On 22nd May 2008 the BioPark Regensburg will be the event holder of the location in the Land of Ideas.
