A construction of the Nickel BioCentrum will start in January 2011 in Złotniki, situated nearby Poznan. A modern Biotechnology Centre, meeting the European bio-safety standards, will be established within the Nickel Technology Park premises within 12 months.
In May the investment estimated for 21.5 million PLN received funding support from EU funds designed to support innovative enterprises of the Wielkopolska region. The Nickel BioCentrum is said to bring together Polish and foreign entities operating in the biotechnology industry.
The Nickel BioCentrum project is another stage of the consistent development of Nickel Technology Park Poznan (NTPP) ? the first private technology park in Poland. The implementation of the project will make it possible to open the third strong centre supporting development of Polish bio-economy. The biotech industry has become one of the key sectors determining further economic development of the world. According to the OECD report from 2009 biotechnology may help to solve many problems concerning health and environment that we will have to face in the coming decades.
The originators of NTPP hope that the Biotechnology Centre, to be constructed in the Technology Park, will contribute to the elimination of barriers inhibiting the development of this field in our country. Since its beginning, the project has been prepared in close cooperation with the Polish biotech sector representatives. In 2009 NTPP conducted a series of biotechnology workshops involving biotech companies, business environment institutions and scientists from Poznan. Letters of support for the establishment of Nickel BioCentrum have been signed by such companies as BioContract, AdvaChemLab, Novazym, Nuscana Biotechnika Laboratoryjna, Biogaz Zeneris and Read-Gene.
The entities that will choose to locate their activities in the Nickel BioCentrum will be given the access to a modern building with a surface of 4,000 m2 . The building will include office and laboratory spaces to let, designed to meet the needs of biotech businesses as well as core facilities available for all tenants. A professional database, foreseen in the project, will reach European standards and requirements regarding bio-safety level II with the possibility to raise it to level III. There are also conference halls, store rooms as well as rest and refreshments rooms to be established in the building. |
