Dynamic Life Sciences Region

The innovative acoustocerebrographs of Leipzig’s Sonovum AG “hear” even the smallest pathological changes in the brain. Saxony is one of Germany’s most dynamic life science regions with a specific focus on digital health.

Saxony is one of the most dynamic life sciences regions in Germany. A total of 300 companies cooperate closely with more than 30 research institutions. Their focus is on regenerative medicine, diagnostics, cell and gene therapies as well as on cancer therapies. Vital clusters are active in the vicinity of the incubators BIO CITY LEIPZIG and BioInnovationCenter Dresden. 

Addressing today’s health challenges, Saxony’s researchers and entrepreneurs are developing innovative diagnostic methods and therapies, e. g. Leipzig’s Sonovum AG. Their acoustocerebrographs “hear” even the smallest pathological changes in the brain. Anvajo Dresden has developed a portable blood-analysis laboratory that fits into the palm of a hand. And ROTOP Pharmaka GmbH in Dresden is a worldwide leading company in the field of development, cGMP manufacturing, registration and commercialization of cold kits and radiopharmaceuticals for diagnostic imaging agents. 

25 years of the Saxony Biotechnology Initiative

This year, Saxony looks back on a quarter of a century of targeted support for biotechnology. Since the start of the biotechnology offensive in 2000, Saxony has invested more than one billion euros and developed into one of the leading locations for life sciences in Germany.

Saxony's biotechnology sector is characterized by close links between science, business, administration and politics. Outstanding research institutes, innovative start-ups and internationally active companies characterize the image of the industry.
