Hotspots for life science start-ups The IZB, founded in 1995, is the operating company for the Innovation- and Start-up Centers for Biotechnology located in Planegg-Martinsried and Freising-Weihenstephan, and has developed into one of the top ten biotechnology centers in the world. Currently, in an area totaling 26,000 m2, over 50 biotech companies with over 700 employees are located. An essential criterion for the success of the IZB is its close proximity to outstanding research at the Ludwig Maximilians-University (LMU) and renowned biotechnology research establishments on the Campus Martinsried, such as the Max Planck-Institutes für Biochemistry and Neurobiology.
Magnet for biotech start-ups Since 1995, the Planegg-Martinsried location, now covering 23,000 m 2, has accommodated Start-ups focusing on medical biotechnology. Since 2002, the IZB in Freising-Weihenstephan with 3,000 m2 of space offers optimal conditions for establishing companies in the sector of life sciences. Here, young entrepreneurs and company founders come upon an optimal infrastructure for transforming their products or services into business propositions, within a competence cluster for life sciences that is one of the best in the world. S1 labs for fair rental prices, internal property management, close contact to the venture capital scene, as well as joint location marketing are also factors for our success, as is the flexibility to adapt space requirements to the development of our tenants.
Top research at the Campus Martinsried Today the scientific and business Campus Martinsried is one of the largest centres in Europe where teaching, basic scientific and clinical research, as well as technology innovation are combined on one campus. Located in the direct vicinity are other institutes such as the Max Planck-Institutes for Biochemistry and Neurobiology, the Helmholtz Zentrum Munich Hematology Unit and the following institutes of the LMU: the Biology Faculty, the Clinical Center Grosshadern, the Pharmacy and Chemistry Faculty, the Neurological Research Center, the Center for Neuropathology and Prion Research
