Current Business Report 2006 for BioRegio Regensburg
The number of Biotech companies (as defined by CapGemini) remained stable in 2006 with 27 companies, at the level of the previous year. In contrast the number of employees rose from over 600 in 2005 to almost 700 in 2006. This is thanks in particular to the successful growth of the companies Geneart AG, Profos AG and Antisense Pharma GmbH in BioPark Regensburg. In the area of Life Sciences (Biotechnology, Medical Technology, Diagnostics/Analytics) on the closing date 31.12.2006 there was a total of 39 companies with 1,703 employees. Also here the number of employees rose markedly from 1,300 in 2005 to 1,700 due to the successful development of companies in the field of medical technology such as RKT Roding GmbH or Wilden AG (now Gerresheimer Wilden, also see PR No. 65, Jan. 2007).
