251 286 - Biotech Bayern

Directly opposite, one year later, Campa Süd invested
� 60 million in building Bavaria's largest oil mill. The plant
has the capacity to press 600,000 tons p.a. of rapeseed for
the production of plant fuels.
Companies from this sector find an optimal mix of soft and
hard locational advantages in Straubing. Along with synergies
with institutions of the Competence Center what the
companies appreciate most are the logistical possibilities for
the transport and transhipment of biomass offered by the
river port. A good deal of this biomass comes from the
Lower-Bavarian Gauböden, Southern Germany's largest
plant-cultivation region, and from the nearby Bavarian
Forest. There is important innovative potential here not only
in the energetic use of biogenic resources but especially
also in their use for producing materials. The range of startup
businesses in the Straubing Technology Cluster covers
wood processing as well as designing new textiles.
Business Incubator for Renewable Raw Materials – ready to move into from
October 2008 onwards
The State of Bavaria and the Straubing-Bogen administrative
district are continuing to invest in the infrastructure for this
promising sector. The foundation stone for a Business
Incubator for Raw Renewable raw Materials was laid right
next to the Innovation and Business Start-up Center
Straubing-Sand. The so-called BioCubator provides highly
attractive laboratory, office and storage space for companies
from this sector, and, of course, in a building that is for the
most part being constructed with Renewable Raw Materials.
Anybody who wants to do business with Renewable Raw
Materials will find an ideal network of science, technology,
companies, finance instruments and other supporting institutions
in Straubing.
