ELSA makes community a model for success

STERN BioRegion – winner in the competition „Landmarks in the Land of Ideas“

(Stuttgart/Berlin) – The joint initiative „Germany – Land of Ideas“ by the worlds of politics and business has selected the business network „ELSA – automation solutions for biosciences“ by BioRegio STERN Management GmbH as one of the 100 best projects. The winners were announced on 31 May 2016, and the individual award ceremony will take place at the summer party to be hosted by BioRegio STERN Management GmbH in Stuttgart on July 14.

The STERN BioRegion is now officially a „Landmark in the Land of Ideas“. A 17-strong panel of scientists, business managers, journalists and politicians selected „ELSA – automation solutions for biosciences“ from around 1,000 entries in the „Business“ category. The panel of judges was impressed by the idea of enabling bioscientists and engineers to work together in a business network to strengthen the region’s innovative capabilities overall and develop the laboratory of the future.

„If you pool your expertise, you can achieve peak performance. This can be seen in the successful German industrial clusters, for example. Faced with complex challenges such as globalisation and migration, we need to focus even more closely on networking and cooperation in all kinds of areas in the future. The competition ‚Landmarks in the Land of Ideas‘ can help find approaches to the future by working together,“ explained Ulrich Grillo, President of the Federation of German Industries (BDI) and President of Deutschland – Land der Ideen e. V. (Germany – Land of Ideas) in a press statement at the announcement of the winners in Berlin.

Dr. Klaus Eichenberg, Managing Director of BioRegio STERN Management GmbH, is particularly pleased with the award for this year’s theme of „CommUnityInnovation – a model for success“. „For me and my team, this decision by the judges is proof that our long-term strategy of cross-industry collaboration and collective research and work is a true model for success.“
