Blue Biotechnology

Biotechnology is a core technology of the future. First active compounds and techniques derived from the sea has been applied for human welfare during the last years. This Blue Biotechnology comprises extraordinary value adding potential, because of physicochemical and biological facts, e.g. the high diversity of chemical compounds and organisms in the sea. Recent market developments foster the perspective of the Blue Biotechnology being one of the driving forces of future economy and revealing its outstanding role for the human well-being. In order to tap its full potential a strategy for the cooperation between scientific institutions and enterprises should be formulated, considering the strengths and specific socio-economic characteristics. Schleswig-Holstein in particular is suitable as a site for the establishment and promotion of a Blue Biotechnology based industry, because of its geographic location and its leadership in marine science. Furthermore, interfaces to other premium sciences and economic branches in Schleswig-Holstein (medicine: dermatology, oncology; tourism; food industry; environmental technology) will generate synergistic effects by developing new products and techniques. An important prerequisite, however, for a fruitful development of Blue Biotechnology is a fluent cooperation between science and economy.
