Biotech Parks

The BioCampus Network Berlin-Brandenburg

Berlin-Brandenburg boasts seven biotechnology parks, which offer optimal space for the specific requirements 

of every company. This geographic concentration of specific biotech parks is unique in Germany and probably 

in all of Europe. The parks differ in their offers and strategic focus and provide ideal conditions for newcomers. 

More than half of the 222 companies are currently utilizing the infrastructure of a publicly or privately man-

aged park. In addition, the young companies benefit from the closeness to science and the permanent contact 

and exchange.

11,400 sq.m. of laboratory, office, greenhouse and storage space. 

With such a large facility at its disposal, it offers biotechnology 

companies an ideal environment for successful operations. All 

labs are approved as S1 laboratories and meet the building re-

quirements for approval as S2 labs. The Hermannswerder site 

also includes an S3 laboratory as a special resource. The beautiful, 

park-like setting of the peninsula offers an excellent environment 

for research activities. The island hotel and a conference center 

are located directly next to the campus. 

The site also includes a self-service restaurant and small island 

shop. The philosophy of Biotech Campus Potsdam was, and still 

is, to create the freedom for research and innovation in the high-

tech sector of biotechnology. Reputable firms from the industry 

can indeed be found here. 

The work carried out by resident companies is multi-faceted, 

ranging from green biotechnology, the development of vaccines, 

the development of pharmacologically active substances based 

on plant materials, the development and production of PCR tests 

for food testing and preclinical contract research right through to 

medical technology. A total of 200 employees work on the site.
