With over 100,000 square meters of ultra-modern laboratory and office space, the BioCity Campus Leipzig at its heart offers ideal conditions for research institutions and companies. Leipzig already offers over 50 companies with more than 4,500 highly qualified workplaces ideal conditions for research and development.

Located in the east of Germany and yet central, Leipzig has both an international airport and an ICE train station. Just under 200 km from Berlin, it is still in the extended radius of the capital city. Biotechnology clusters in Dresden, Erfurt and Prague are well interlinked and accessible and allow for supra-regional cooperation.

The Leipzig region is one of the top addresses for life sciences both nationally and globally. With its diverse cluster of bioeconomy, life sciences, healthcare industry, biotechnology, medical technology, pharmaceutical industry, bioinformatics and pharmaceutical and medical logistics, the rapidly growing location covers an almost comprehensive spectrum of the industry and its sub-sectors.

After a successful premiere as DBT host in 2016, the event is returning to Leipzig after 10 years.

  • A varied program that highlights the diversity of German and European biotechnology
  • Full-fledged partnering system but also plenty of time for traditional networking
