About us

bioROne aims to act as a network and common platform to help maximise the innovation potential of NE Romania, and strengthen the innovation process from an original idea to a product. This is the first such initiative in the field of biotechnologies both in Romania and in South-East Europe. 

Key objectives include:

• Shift the innovation culture from education to economy

• Explore and develop the high calibre human resource pool that exists in the region

• Support successful collaborations between members of the clusters, as well as between the cluster and external partners (e.g. investors)

• Move from small single-entity projects, to fewer large multi-partner projects, with higher eligibility for funding

• Help with advise on finance opportunities and funding programs

• Support entrepreneurial initiatives in the biotech space

• Represent the region’s innovation hub at the international level

• Attract new partners and investments to the region to create a CEE hub for innovation. 

In terms of research areas, bioROne is focused mainly on applications of bioinformatics, drug production, pharmacogenomics, gene therapy, genetic testing, nanotechnologies, bioengineering, health services, and human diagnosis, biopharmaceuticals and equipment manufacturers.
