As part of its unique incubation concept, the company Life Science Inkubator (LSI), located at the center of advanced european studies and research (caesar) in Bonn, accommodates spin-off projects from the fields of biotechnology, pharmacology and medical technology at its premises with a view to developing them to the stage when they are ready for financing. LSI, which has been initiated by Max Planck Innovation itself, currently has a lot of new developments and innovations to report. In addition to the fact that two renowned research organisations have come on board as shareholders, LSI now also has the status of a research institution itself. Moreover, another very promising project will shortly be incubated, and the VLP pioneer project is now ready to enter the transfer phase. A newly established cooperation agreement with the company High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF) is expected to also bring new projects to LSI. continue
