Chemie-Cluster Bayern is a market-focused R&D network of companies, research institutes and political institutions, which make a significant contribution to the value added in the Bavarian chemical industry.

Here, the cluster understands itself as an interdisciplinary catalyser for innovation, which is of long-term benefit for Bavaria as a chemical and business location through R&D cooperation with companies or Start-ups.

As the representative of a reliable, established and central supplier industry for nearly all innovate business areas, Chemie-Cluster Bayern strongly includes cross-sector industry and research projects in its project portfolio: by emphasising the leading role of the chemical industry as a driver of innovation, value added is created for its cluster members.

As regards chemical research in Bavaria, Chemie-Cluster Bayern operates as a generic research network with a clear relation to application and markets.

The objective of the cluster management is profit-oriented balancing of existing knowledge and an increase of its marketability: Thanks to R&D projects with industrial companies and local authorities, new, regional markets are created and relevant market analyses conducted in cooperation with the cluster partners.
