Study Masters in Biotechnology in Germany for less than 3 Lakhs

The German biotechnology sector is growing. Altogether, around 27,000 people have jobs in the field of biotechnology. Biotechnology has become the basis and driving factor behind many applications in medicine, the food and feed industry and chemical industry. It is, for example, used in the production of medical drugs, for new diagnosis and therapy concepts, the production of fine chemicals, wastewater treatment processes or energy production from biomass. Different fields of application have different colours.

White or industrial biotechnology deals with the production of chemical base materials and end products. Biotechnology processes in medical applications, such as the development of new medical drugs, are called red biotechnology.

Green or plant biotechnology is used to produce plants that are better nutrient producers or renewable resources. Black biotechnology is already being discussed. It uses microorganisms as energy suppliers. Black symbolizes the still predominant energy sources of oil and coal.

The Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) established a specific funding framework for biotechnological research in Germany. At present, there are 25 different ongoing initiatives to financially support universities, research institutes, companies or individual researchers by specific measures. They target all players in the innovation value chain - from basic and applied research and clinics to start ups and companies. Furthermore, the BMBF guarantees institutional funding for the four research societies Max-Planck-Society,  Leibniz Association, Helmholtz Association and the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, in which a wide range of researchers are working in biotechnology research.

Biotechnology in Germany - the future on your doorstep

Whether it is health and nutrition, agriculture or production and environmental protection - biotechnology has already established itself in the central areas of our lives. This success, but also the numerous still unsolved problems and the promising solution approaches motivate scientists and entrepreneurs to develop new products and procedures. Bearing in mind the increasingly intensifying international competition, innovative ability is of great significance for research and economy in Germany: for improving and securing of service standards and the work place. In this way biotechnology in Germany stands for a piece of the future on your doorstep.

In the last decade - particularly from 1997 to 2001 – the number of biotechnological companies in Germany has increased dramatically, which is to be attributed among other things to the BioRegio competition started by the BMBF in 1995. This could contribute to the fact that regional concentrations of biotechnological companies have been established, so called biotechnology clusters. Three of the four largest are in the winner regions of the competition: Munich, Rhine-Neckar and Rhineland. A further biotechnological network does research and works in the Berlin - Brandenburg area. Throughout Germany there are currently 25  biotechnology regions with around 600 mostly young companies, 360 of them in the biomedical sector. Therefore Germany is in the vanguard of Europe. 

In total, together with the biotechnological sectors of other companies they employ around 30,000 employees, almost half of them with university education. A look at the fields of activity of the biotechnology companies shows the significance of innovative ability and development in this sector: 85% carry out their own research, 64% provide services, 63% carry out product and process development, 45% are in production. In 2006 these companies with their core business in biotechnology earned almost 1.8 billion Euros in Germany. 

A close link between biotechnological research and scientific implementation is crucial for commercial and scientific success. Accordingly, biotechnology clusters have emerged in regions with a high level of universities, universities of applied sciences and public research institutions - ideal conditions for intensive networking between science and economy.
