Research Environment
The chemical industry has a healthy R&D environment, because most of chemical companies located in Bavaria maintain R&D facilities in the state, for example,
“Consortium
for electrochemical industry” - Wacker Chemie AG, Center of Excellence in Munich
Süd-Chemie
AG - Central Research Department, in Heufeld
“Construction
Chemicals Center of Excellence” - Degussa AG in Trostberg
Cooperation between the chemical companies and the Bavarian universities and universities of applied sciences are organized via matchmaking meetings organized by the Bavarian Chemical Associations. For details, please download “Themenbörse
Forschung" (PDF).
