Life Science and Health Economy
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern has set its sights on becoming the number one health state in Germany.
This aim, formulated by the state government, should be achieved based on the master plan
“Health Economy Mecklenburg-Vorpommern 2010“. BioCon Valley ® adopts a central role in this
respect.
The staging of the activities and projects of the BioCon Valley ®-Initiative as an interface of life
sciences/biotechnology and health economy has stood the test of the past few years and was thus
continued on a consistent level throughout 2007.
The networking of the various protagonists from the fields of research and science, the economy,
health care and administration, as well as from life science, biotechnology and health economy
has actually become the core business of BioCon Valley ®. That means: identify the actors of the
branch, integrate these into the existing networks of information exchange, organise monthly
meetings in the region – the BioCon Valley Treffs for the Life Science and the Marktplatz Gesundheit
for the health economy –, organise expert meetings to realise common interests and manage
promising projects. The implementation was accompanied and overseen by the board of directors
of the BioCon Valley ® Mecklenburg-Vorpommern e.V. and the “Kuratorium” as the health economy
board of trustees as well as a committee of proven and acknowledged experts from the economy,
the sciences and administration brought together by the prime minister of the state Mecklenburg-
Vorpommern.
Selected activities and projects which were undertaken by BioCon Valley ® in the year 2007 are
featured in the following part of the report.
