In the presence of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Minister for Economic Affairs, Labour and Health Harry Glawe and Mayor of Greifswald Dr Stefan Fassbinder, the symbolic foundation stone was laid for the new Centre for Life Science and Plasma Technology.
"This project will lay the foundations for even more research and development in the Hanseatic city," emphasised Economics Minister Glawe. In her speech, the Chancellor described Greifswald as a "jewel in the field of pharmacology, life sciences and plasma technology" and underlined that the north is at the forefront when it comes to science and research.
The building will house a specialist research, service and start-up centre. It will offer space for over 200 new jobs on 5,500 square metres.
The Life Science Centre is scheduled to go into operation as early as 2022. We are delighted about the expansion of Greifswald as a location for plasma technologies and the new opportunities this will create.
