The world economy’s rapid development has been impelled by the even stronger growth of the world’s metropolises. Taking place on all continents, this concentration of population has helped give rise to enormous needs for investment. These large sums of money will be needed over the next few decades to develop the technologies capable of improving the health of the environment and of the human beings living in it. Including, notably biotechnologies, these technologies will accomplish that objective by finding new and more efficient ways of producing and conserving energy and other ever-scarcer resources. Other technologies set to be pacemakers in this century: forestry and food sciences.

Bavaria’s ‘human beings and their environment’ technological range is comprised of the clusters featuring biotechnologies; environmental, medical and energy technologies; and of forestry and wood sciences. These technologies exploit two of Bavaria’s prime assets: the great expanses of forests and fields possessed by this large-sized state, and the strong positions held on the international level by Bavaria’s research institutes and companies.
