The Paris Region Genopole® cluster specialising in biotechnologies and biotherapies is celebrating its 10th birthday this year. The Evry-based cluster intends to reinvent itself with a raft of forward-looking projects.
For example, by opening its own monoclonal antibody and therapeutic protein bioproduction unit, the Genopole® aims to create a new European centre of excellence which will enable France to keep pace with developments in the field of biomedicines as well as promote dialogue and national research and production.

Genopole® also plans to build a new hospital, scheduled for completion in 2011. It will replace the current south Paris Region hospital. At the heart of the new hospital will be a 3,000 to 4,500 sqm clinical and translational research center forming a link between fundamental research and enterprise.

Genopole® in figures:
- €16.05 million annual budget in 2007
- €180.78 million leveraged by Genopole companies
- 2053 people work in the Biopark
- 923 biotech companies
- 797 academic research laboratories
