BIO Deutschland (Biotechnology-Industry-Organisation Deutschland e. V.)

BIO Deutschland is the sector association of the German biotechnology industry and has set itself the objective of supporting and promoting the development of an innovative economic sector based on modern biosciences.

The Berlin-based association currently has about 340 members and is run by a board of ten members consisting of CEOs and managing directors of biotechnology companies.

The member companies and their experts are organised in working groups that deal with a variety of topics such as regulatory policy, diagnostics, finance and taxation, health policy, industrial bioeconomy, entrepreneurship or technology transfer. Using a wide range of political initiatives, BIO Deutschland lobbies for improvements to the legal parameters for innovative small and medium-sized enterprises.

The association is also very active in a broad range of events with the aim of providing biotechnology with a platform for discussion and interaction.

BIO Deutschland represents Germany’s biotechnology sector at the European association, EuropaBio, in Brussels and at the US-American BIO in Washington.
