"The ranking shows that the CeNTech as an interdisciplinary scientific platform with its integrated incubator function for new spin-offs is not only unique in Germany to this day, but is now also gaining worldwide attention as a high-ranking research institution beyond the nano-science community," emphasizes Harald Fuchs, scientific director of the CeNTech.
Since 2003, the centre has provided scientists with an infrastructure for direct and interdisciplinary cooperation in chemistry, physics, biology and medicine. In addition to application-oriented basic research, 18 new companies and settlements have been established or are currently being established since the opening of the centre.
