BerlinBioCube
Create the future of medicine
An additional 8,000 square meters of state-of-the-art laboratory and office space have been created at the Berlin-Buch Science and Technology Campus.
Space for young companies (start-ups)
The BerlinBioCube offers a total of 8,000 square meters of space on five floors for modern laboratories, offices, and common areas for daily encounters and exchanges as well as conference rooms.
Young companies will move into the building, including spin-offs from the Max Delbrück Center, Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, and the Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pharmakologie (FMP). These companies are engaged in the development of innovative gene and cell therapies or novel compounds for the effective treatment of cancer and other common diseases.
The startup center completes the Biotech Park. Additional areas for future expansion are planned near the campus, as designated in the Buch South master plan.
BiotechPark Berlin-Buch
The BerlinBioCube is located on the Campus Berlin-Buch in the BiotechPark Berlin-Buch, which with 75 companies, 850 employees and around 40,000 square meters of office and laboratory space is one of the leading technology parks in Germany. Spin-offs in the field of life sciences find ideal conditions here, from technology transfer to industry-specific laboratory and office space. The life science community on site facilitates direct exchange and joint projects. The BiotechPark contributes significantly to the dynamic development of the biotechnology region of Berlin-Brandenburg and strengthens the industrial health economy to a great extent.
Talk im Cube
With the "Talk im Cube" event series, we want to bring business and science together on the Campus Berlin-Buch. Founders of start-ups or life science companies network with scientists from the Max Delbrück Center, FMP, Charité and BIH. We invite experts on business topics or trends in the life sciences. What innovations are there in the start-ups and who is driving them forward? How does the life science business world work and where can synergies with science be created? How do you live "sustainability in the laboratory"? Find out more.
Facts & Figures
The BiotechPark Berlin-Buch is one of the largest biotechnology parks in Germany. It offers founders and companies in the biotech sector circa 29,000 m² of state-of-the-art lab and office space at moderate prices. Start-ups can grow and thrive in the Innovation and Incubation Center; building sites on campus allow for future development options. The managing company, Campus Berlin-Buch GmbH, supports the companies in all matters and provides a full range of services.

Architecture
The building was designed by the Munich-based architectural firm doranth post architekten. After three years of construction, the BerlinBioCube was completed in October 2023, marking the end of the BiotechPark’s fourth construction phase.
The compact building designed by doranth post architekten makes optimal use of the space it occupies in the BiotechPark. The structuring of the façade and textile elements lend a quality of lightness to the building. The incubator center meets the demands of state-of-the-art research facilities. These include high amenity value, laboratories with daylight, and common areas that foster and encourage communication.
Funding
The construction of the BerlinBioCube involves an investment of 48.9 million euros and is made possible by funding under the Joint Task for the Improvement of Regional Economic Structures (GRW).
