Innovation through cooperation – sustainable ideas through strong networks in Lower Saxony

The cross-sector combination of biotechnological findings with other technologies opens up a wide range of innovations in numerous industries.

Therefore, as part of its "Lower Saxony Biological Strategy", the state of Lower Saxony adopted a comprehensive package of measures in June 2022 to promote biological transformation in Lower Saxony.

The task of Niedersachsen.next is now to implement the measures formulated in close consultation with the Lower Saxony state government. At Niedersachsen.next, we are focusing on close cooperation with stakeholders in Lower Saxony and are increasingly expanding the existing innovation networks.

Lower Saxony.next is currently setting up a database that will map the equipment infrastructure in Lower Saxony in the future. This measure is intended to help start-ups and SMEs in particular to further scale their processes.
