Innovative Strategies for Biotechnology Technopols are combined technological and business centers specifically established around recognized educational and research institutes. The Technopol Program of Lower Austria is a trendsetter in implementing the linkage of education/training, research and business. Lower Austria’s three Technopols are already setting international standards: Technopol Krems in the fields of biotech and regenerative medicine, Technopol Tulln in agro- and environmental biotechnology, Technopol Wiener Neustadt in surface technologies, microsystems engeneering and medical engineering.

Technopol Krems
The city of Krems is pursuing an emphasis on biomedicine (tissue engineering, cellular therapies, extracorporeal blood purification) and healthcare services. Krems’ biomedical production processes and laboratory facilities meet the highest standards both for Austria and for the EU. The Campus Krems with Danube University, IMC University of Applied Sciences, and the Bio Science Park are the pillars of Technopol Krems that is setting new directions in biomedicine, pharmaceuticals and related health science sectors. And the best evidence that they are the right directions is the host of international businesses striving for Krems. Internationally recognized companies, like Ars Arthro Biotechnologie, Biotec Systems (Fresenius Medical Care), Tissuemed Bioscience, Baxter Bioscience, Cell Danube and Cells+Tissue Bank Austrian are neighbors in the technopol´s Bio Science park.

Technopol Tulln
The Technopol Tulln focuses intensively on research and development in the fields of agro- and environmental biotechnology. Biotechnical processes are developed in the areas of plant and animal production, as well as environmental protection. More than 200 highly specialized researchers are already active on-site.
The Research Institute for Agro-Biotechnology (IFA Tulln), a Department of the University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences in Vienna, ranks among the leading research institutes in Europe in the fields of biotechnology in animal and plant-production, bioanalytics, environmental biotechnology and technology of natural materials. The University of Applied Sciences Wiener Neustadt in Tulln meets the demand for technical education in the field with its course of study in «Biotechnical Processes». Specialisation in «natural materials technology» and «bioanalysis and monitoring» provides skilled scientists of global caliber. In the new Technology Center Tulln internationally operating companies and start-up’s, like Romer Labs®, Biopure, 55Pharma and Biomin are located.
