Science

Of particular importance in the ongoing development of commercial biotechnology is the proximity of excellent scientific research institutes, an excellent infrastructure, a sufficient supply of capital, role-models in the form of firms that have already attained success, as well as highly qualified employees. The greater Munich area offers all these needs in an excellent manner (the universities LMU and TUM have gained "excellence-status" in 2006).
