Two new companies enrich BioRegio Regensburg
The Initiative Interdisziplinaritäts-Agentur BIOTECH (IA-BIOTECH - IA for interdisciplinary agency) is the result of a study on the interdisciplinary potential to develop links in the region in the field of the life sciences (see press release 03/2007). With IA-BIOTECH, BioPark Regensburg would like to further expand this potential in the region and promote development of BioRegio Regensburg into an interlinking technology network in East Bavaria. To accomplish this BioPark regularly speaks with suitable new companies which could complement the cluster and thereby cooperation between companies and academic working groups in the categories of biotechnology, life sciences and interdisciplinary fields.
