About the IBT:
Lower Saxony is one of Germany's leading locations for biomedical research. Despite the state's internationally recognized research strength, the findings still find their way into medical applications too rarely or too slowly. This is why the IBT Lower Saxony was launched as a lighthouse project for the state of Lower Saxony. It supports the establishment of new startups in the field of biomedical research, attracts successful companies and investors, and strengthens the regional economy and makes it internationally visible.
The IBT Lower Saxony creates a fast track for biomedicine in Lower Saxony: Innovative ideas not only receive attractive financing options at the IBT, but also access to the entire first-class infrastructure and expertise of our shared ecosystem. The core goal is to transfer research results into new preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures as quickly as possible.
The cooperation was initiated by three leading scientific institutions in the region: the founding partners are the Hannover Medical School, the University Medical Center Göttingen and the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research in Braunschweig. The startup funding of 25 million euros between 2023 and 2028 will be provided by the Lower Saxony Ministry of Science and Culture and the Volkswagen Foundation.
