South-east Upper Bavaria (Rosenheim)
The competence region of south-east Upper Bavaria (Rosenheim) lies at the heart of the triangle formed by Munich, Salzburg and Innsbruck. For centuries, regional agriculture and forestry have been the starting point for an industry dominated by small and medium-sized enterprises. The region is characterised in particular by national dairy producers, the packaging industry and large traditional chemical companies with their networks of small and medium-sized suppliers and partners. In addition, wood as a raw material shapes value creation in the Alpine foothills with established wood processors and woodworkers.

Stakeholders
Centre for Transfer, Research and Development (ZFET) at THRO with regional economic development agencies in the region
Rosenheim Technical University, with its research focus on bioeconomy and wood technology, is an innovation partner in the south-east Upper Bavaria region in the fields of bioeconomy and wood technology. With the Centre for Bio-based Materials (ZBM), the Technology and Transfer Centre for Building Biology and Health (TTZ Baubiologie und Gesundheit) and the Centre for Circular Economy & Recycling (ZKR), THRO offers partners from industry, research and society a broad network and technologies in the fields of wood, construction, chemistry, packaging and food. The aim is to add value to regional raw materials such as wood and other bio-based raw materials in the region and to establish innovations for "green chemistry". This includes the development of new functional materials and products, innovative processes and the implementation of circular and cascade use for primary and secondary raw materials in the bioeconomy.
