THE ALPS BIO CLUSTER PROJECT

Alps Bio Cluster is a European project, co-funded by the ERDF under the Alpine Space Programme, that aims to unite research, industrial, and training resources in Biotech and Medtech sectors over an extended transalpine area.

Our main objectives are:

1. Enhance local biotech potentialities throughout transnational opportunities by the creation of a meta cluster: Alps Bio Cluster
2. Foster stable cooperation between R&D centres and start-ups as well as SMEs on a transalpine scale by implementing thematic networks federating critical size resources (academic, industrial and training)
3. Promotion the visibility of the transalpine bio-cluster, increase the portfolio of innovation and patents of R&D centres and SMEs’ inside and outside the Alpine region.
