North Rhine-Westphalia – We create opportunities!
North Rhine-Westphalia is Germany’s number one centre of chemical and pharmaceutical industry – with an increasing focus on sustainable economic development and the needs of the people. This includes an effective and efficient health sector and cutting-edge environment industries, plus innovative biotechnology which, as an interface technology with a vast potential for generating applications, is a mainstay of numerous industries in our state.
In North Rhine-Westphalia, some 70 university and non-university institutions and other scientific facilities are doing research in biotechnology and the life sciences.
In 2009 around 300 life science-related companies with 70 dedicated biotech companies (OECD definition) were located in North Rhine-Westphalia. According to the “OECD Biotechnological Statistics report”, North Rhine-Westphalia is Europe’s most innovative biotechnology region: It generates more biotech PCT patent applications than any other European region. Their economic impact is highlighted by the fact that more than 40 per cent of the overall German biotech turnover is generated in our state.

We are putting an extra emphasis on creating the best possible framework for research and development, on sustainability, on better co-operation between academia and industry and on internationalization. We want to tap the full potential.
An example for this is the hosting of BioEurope in Düsseldorf, the North Rhine-Westphalia capital, in 2011. I’d like to invite you to visit this great event from 31st of October to 2nd of November 2011.
We look forward to welcome you at the BIO.NRW booth to meet innovative companies from North Rhine-Westphalia and contact partners for co-operation.

Dear visitors and exhibitors,
The State of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) along with 12 companies and institutions is pleased to attend the BIO International Convention and to present the diversity and innovative potential of the biotech scene in NRW.
The largest German federal state North Rhine-Westphalia is situated at Europe’s geographic and economic center.In total, the state is home to more than 300 life science companies, among them 71 core biotechnology firms that together account for 42 % of German biotech turnover (according to the OECD definition). With 50 universities and research institutions conducting life science research, NRW also enjoys the highest concentration of academic institutions within Europe, as well as being Europe’s leading region when it comes to patenting biotech inventions.
One notable strength of NRW’s biotech industry is industrial (‘white’) biotechnology, which benefits from the state’s strong chemical industry. This sector is networked by the Cluster of Industrial Biotechnology, named CLIB2021.
The NRW events organized jointly by BIO.NRW and NRW.International at the German pavilion once again offer
Greeting

BIO.NRW - Busyness for Biotech.
North Rhine-Westphalia’s biotechnology cluster BIO.NRW is a central catalyst for the sustainable development of the state’s biotech sector. It activates cooperation between business, research, investors and policy-makers. The cluster also promotes the strengths and achievements of biotechnology in the state: industrial biotechnology and pharmaceutical biotechnology.
BIO.NRW is part of an initiative by North Rhine-Westphalia’s (NRW) state government, which aims at making NRW the number one state for innovation. It has therefore established 16 technology clusters to systematically improve NRW’s strengths and talents in established industries and up-and-coming fields like biotechnology.
Goal of the “Excellence NRW” cluster strategy is to create a favourable climate for innovation, as that is the best way to sustain the competitive edge and stimulate growth and employment in the companies that call the state their home.

Human Cells for Human Pharmaceuticals
CEVEC’s amniocyte derived protein expression technologies CAP and CAP-T are designed for stable and transient protein production. They achieve highest protein yields with authentic human glycosylation patterns. The versatile cells exhibit exceptional yields for antibodies and complex proteins and are also an excellent tool for vaccine/virus production.
The stable producer CAP cell line and the new transientCAP-T cell line meet all regulatory guidelines, are adopted to serum-free growth conditions and can be very efficiently transfected with commercially available transfection reagents. They are optimized to grow in a variety of flask/wave formats up to large-scale processing in bioreactors. Especially in the US the company is enjoying a broad and growing interest of pharma and biotech companies in employing the CAP and the CAP-T technology as the one and only cell expression system to be used from early discovery expression tasks (CAP-T) up to large-scale productionpurposes (CAP).

It‘s chemagic!
chemagen is a key player in the field of manual and automated nucleic acid isolation. chemagen’s kits and automation platforms facilitate DNA/RNA isolation from all clinical sample materials, such as blood, serum, plasma, urine, swabs, saliva, cells, etc.
chemagen’s high performance instrument is the chemagic Magnetic Separation Module I (chemagic MSM I) which can process 1 – 96 samples in one hour. It enables high throughput applications as well as large volume applications up to 10 ml. Combining the chemagic MSM I with a liquid handling unit enables a fully automated workflow from primary samples to e.g. PCR setup.
The chemagic Prepito, chemagen’s benchtop solution, facilitates the nucleic acid isolation of 1 - 12 samples from up to 1000 µl sample volume. Its integrated dispensing system reduces hands on time. The chemagic Prepito includes barcode reading to provide comfort and to support highest quality assurance demands.

The institute has gathered particular expertise in developing new methods and improving existing ones. To solve complex analytical problems various methods have been combined, according to the particular needs (the so-called multi-method concept). A few years ago, new expertise in the life sciences has extended the portfolio of the institute. Now ISAS combines skills in at least two state-of-the-art branches of modern sciences.
The main focus in the Bioanalytics department is the development of methods and procedures for fast and specific detection of proteins and their modifications in complex biological samples (e.g. cells, tissues and liquors). The scientists mainly focus on label free quantitative analytics of complex peptide or protein mixtures for the needs of systems biology.

The PAION Principle
PAION AG is a biopharmaceutical company focusing on the clinical development of drug candidates for diseases or interventions for which there is a substantial unmet medical need.
After proof of concept in humans – the greatest value creating step prior to market approval – the strategy is to out-license or co-develop the drug candidates with pharma partners.
PAION further profits from the receipt of payments for reaching clinical and commercial milestones and receiving royalties after market approval of the drugs. Further upside can be generated from co-commercialisation activities.
With this business model revenues can be generated at an early stage, decreasing development costs and risks.
With currently two development programmes in Phase II , one programme has completed Phase II and two programmes in Phase I, PAION is excellently positioned.

Therapeutics received a grant from the German ministry of education and research in order to validate the synthetic antibody concept within the upcoming 3 years.
The technology platform enables the company to synthesize highly effective drugs against cancer and other
types of diseases. These drugs show the positive effects of monoclonal antibodies (high specificity for the target molecule, activation of the immune system), but they are much smaller and simpler in manufacturing.

Syntab Therapeutics is focussed on preclinical development of its drug candidates. We are interested in finding pharma partners that can ensure the effective further clinical development and marketing.
