BioMedicine in Bavaria´s north

With its focus on the themes of biotechnology/biomedicine, medical technology, and information technology/ modern communication, Würzburg's Innovation and Start-up Center for Biotechnology and Biomedicine and Center for Modern Communication Technologies (IGZ) is the largest enterpreneurship center in the administrative district of Lower Franconia.

In autumn 2005, IGZ  launched the “Life Sciences in Würzburg” project aimed at to better utilizing the high potential of the life sciences – especially at the renowned Würzburg University. The purpose of the project is to provide in-depth consultancy services and to promote business start-ups, company recruitments and existing companies at the location in cooperation with the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Julius Maximilian University Würzburg and the Business Development Department of the City of Würzburg. The initiative fits in admirably with the Bavaria-wide efforts to improve technology transfer from universities to companies. One outstanding example is the “Cluster-Initiative Bavaria” initiated by the Bavarian State Government.
