ScanBalt BioRegion

Who ?

Initiated as a project early 2002, co-funded by the Nordic Innovation Center (NIC).

Since 1 August 2004 a not for profit association

ScanBalt – a Network of Networks

PLUS:

• Universities• Hospitals• Companies• Science and Business

parks• Tech transfer

organisations• Other institutions

Sunrise Valley

Triple helix (academia – industry/hospitals – authorities)

Why?

No individual biovally, biocluster, university or company has the critical mass to be visible globally and to attract human, economic and other

resources to compete with major biovalleys and bioclusters internationally Very few existing biovalleys in Northern Europe has reached the

mode 3 status where there is a productive mix of large, small and middlesized companies, academic research and education and applied research

How?

By shaping a ”meta-network” we can together: Shape critical mass and create visibility Create identity & infrastructure Focus on competences and complementarities

By using bottom up action lines we can make it a strong force

By working together we can form a platform for dialogue with supranational institutions and increase the financing possibilities in ie. EU, the Nordic Council of Ministers

By working together we can give added value for all partners in the “metaregional value chain”

For who?

ScanBalt Bioregion The academia The hospitals The companies The authorities

For all, together, in a ”triple Helix” formation

”What´s in it for me?” should be ”what´s in it for us?”

Transnational, thematic, networks in research and education, aims at connecting key competencies and create critical mass.

- The activities have to be inside life sciences and biotechnology

- Activities can be both research and education

- Requirement of mobility between at least two countries

- Activities to be based on win-win situations for the partners

- When possible activities should strengthen links to industry

education and culture in Mecklenburg Vorpommern, 200.000 EURO/year for 2 years (Ministerpresident Harald Ringsdorf)

• Tasks– Regenerative medicine network of ScanBalt

Campus– Other networks– ”Weiterbildung” in North Germany

Strategy 2006-2008

PrioritiesFrom 2006 and 3 years ahead ScanBalt will focus on three interrelated priorities in order to support the formation and development of new ideas, networks and projects and ensure output in terms of concrete results.

The three priorities are:

► Identity and Infrastructures

► Communication and Transparency

► Coordination and Consolidation

”ScanBalt BioRegion is a very concrete and visionary example of how the Baltic Sea Region can become a global centre of excellence”
