FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- What is a biotech cluster?
- A geographically concentrated network of biotech and pharma companies, research institutes, universities, investors, and supporting infrastructure that share knowledge, talent, and capital. Examples: Medicon Valley in the Øresund region, BioRN around Heidelberg, BIO CITY in Vilnius. Strong clusters compound network effects — companies inside them grow faster than isolated peers.
- Which European biotech clusters are most active?
- Medicon Valley (Copenhagen + Lund/Malmö, anchored by Novo Nordisk, Lundbeck, Lund University) is the largest. BioRN around Heidelberg, Mainz, and the Rhine-Neckar region. BIO CITY Vilnius for Baltic biologics. Krakow's Life Sciences Park anchors Polish discovery. Basel's tri-border cluster anchors Swiss pharma.
- How are clusters verified in this directory?
- Every profile is hand-reviewed: organizational identity confirmed by primary source, physical site address sourced from official disclosures, mission and member-network claims backed by published documentation, and a registry note explaining current ecosystem role.
