Message from the State Ministers
An effiÂciÂent reseÂarch landÂsÂcape, innoÂvaÂtiÂve comÂpaÂnies and inspiÂred founÂders form the basis of proÂspeÂriÂty and a secuÂre job marÂket in BavaÂria. The goal of Bavaria’s reseÂarch, techÂnoÂloÂgy and innoÂvaÂtiÂon poliÂcy is to mainÂtain and expand Bavaria’s posiÂtiÂon as a recoÂgnisÂed sciÂence and busiÂness hub among interÂnaÂtioÂnal competition.
Through a colÂlaÂboÂraÂtiÂon of five strong partÂners, the BavaÂriÂan ReseÂarch and InnoÂvaÂtiÂon AgenÂcy (BayÂFIA) is Bavaria’s cenÂtral point of conÂtact for all matÂters relaÂted to the proÂmoÂtiÂon of reseÂarch, techÂnoÂloÂgy and transfer.
The five partÂner instiÂtuÂtiÂons of the BavaÂriÂan ReseÂarch and InnoÂvaÂtiÂon AgenÂcy adviÂse and supÂport small to medium-sized comÂpaÂnies and uniÂverÂsiÂties in their efforts to acquiÂre funÂding from the StaÂte of BavaÂria, the GerÂman federal government and the EU, while offeÂring help on issuÂes relaÂted to the transÂfer of knowÂledge and techÂnoÂloÂgy, and patent utiÂliÂsaÂtiÂon. They also proÂmoÂte netÂworÂking betÂween sciÂence and indusÂtry staÂkeÂholÂders. The assiÂsÂtance offeÂred incluÂdes pracÂtiÂcal help to deveÂlop forward-looking ideÂas, from reseÂarch and tesÂting to preÂpaÂraÂtiÂon for a marÂket launch.
Employees are on hand to proÂviÂde supÂport at both locaÂtiÂons in Munich and Nuremberg.
The BavaÂriÂan ReseÂarch and InnoÂvaÂtiÂon AgenÂcy is a joint initiaÂtiÂve of the BavaÂriÂan MinisÂtry of SciÂence and the BavaÂriÂan MinisÂtry of EcoÂnoÂmic Affairs.
