The biosaxony Region

"There's one thing I am certain of... Saxony will soon be Germany's main biotechnology centre..." - Professor Guenter Blobel (Nobel Prize for Medicine, 1999)

Should every nation, state, city, town and village develop their own biotechnology cluster? What is biosaxony and how could it possibly be different from the many other bio-locations? As you read this article, hopefully you will agree that there are unique elements to biosaxony that justify taking a closer look. First there are the people; the ready availability of a highly trained and motivated workforce with (together with Portugal) the lowest labour rates in Europe. Rates will stay low as Eastern Europe opens up in 2004 and the availability of skilled labour is further supplemented.

Next there is the infrastructure - the most modern in Europe with 100 per cent digital communication systems and fibre-optic networks, gas, electricity and waste disposal functionality at green field locations, as well as modern roads, airports and rail networks which have all been rebuilt within the last 10 years.
