Our locations
35 years in the service of innovation
The Heidelberg Technology Park has provided laboratories, clean rooms and offices for scientific and technological companies for more than three decades. We have become one of the prime locations for research-intensive company start-ups and growth companies worldwide. Our tenants value their proximity to renowned research facilities and companies, as well as the quality of life in Heidelberg.
Life Sciences
Biotechnology, pharmacy, biology
Laboratories for research in the life sciences
Our Im Neuenheimer Feld location is predominantly tenanted by biotech companies: Due to its proximity to the university and medical campus, high-tech company start-ups in particular have been settling here since the 80s.
The Heidelberg Technology Park has been densely populated with such facilities promoting research and development ever since it opened its doors. It therefore stands to reason that the BioRN leading-edge cluster also be based in the technology park itself.
Technology Park, Im Neuenheimer Feld
Business Development Center Heidelberg
Spaces for high-tech in Heidelberg
Clean rooms and workshops
Ever since InnovationLab, the leading-edge cluster for organic electronics in Heidelberg, was set up and the Center for Advanced Materials at Heidelberg University opened this year, Heidelberg has established itself as the central location for this new leading-edge technology.
The Heidelberg Technology Park takes up the theme and has been building a new location on the site of the constantly growing top cluster on Carl-Friedrich-Gauß-Ring. The aim of the InnovationLab is to print electronic components on a mass scale in an energy and environmentally friendly manner. Printed electronics will thus replace the well-known semiconductor technology and open up completely new possibilities for design, technology and sustainability. Since 2019, the Business Development Center Heidelberg has also been providing 4,400 square meters of offices, laboratories, workshops and S2 wet labs, as well as CoWorking Spaces, SeedLabs, Café and Conference Center, for founders in the electronics sector.
Environmental Technology
Sustainability
Spaces for environmental engineers
In addition to biotechnology and printed electronics, the technology park in Heidelberg also houses a large number of environmental engineering firms at the Heinsteinwerk location. Following extensive reconstruction, the former factory building offers a total of six floors of office space for up to 17 rental units, as well as a restaurant on the ground floor.
This creates the ideal atmosphere for engineering firms to develop technical and technological procedures that help protect the environment and restore already damaged ecosystems.
Business Incubator
Testing ideas
Individual offices and short termination periods
Our business incubator is the first port of call for young and creative minds wanting to set up and locate their new company. It is funded by the city of Heidelberg and the Initiative for Start-ups and Business Transfers (ifex) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs of Baden-Württemberg, with funds from the European Social Fund, and managed by Technologiepark Heidelberg GmbH.
As part of the rental agreement, young companies benefit from the support of HeidelbergStartupPartners. No specific industry is targeted—each and every idea is welcome and deserves a chance.

Committed to ecology
The UmweltPark (Environmental Park) is a further trendsetting high-tech location in the city on the Neckar. The first environmental technology and environmental economics companies settled in the technology park as early as the mid 80s.
In 2005, the Umweltkompetenzzentrum Rhein-Neckar e. V. (UKOM) opened its own environmental competence center here, in the Heinstein factories established in 1911: A total of 1,700 m2 of thinking space specifically designed for the needs of this growth industry. Due to high demand, the construction of an annex is already underway this year. All this to achieve even more dynamism and progress at this high-tech location for the environment in Heidelberg.

Construction project
“Your task is not to foresee the future, but to enable it.” - Antoine De Saint-Exupéry
Having a creative and exciting idea is a great thing. But transforming this idea into reality is even better. This requires more than just an office. In addition to space, passion, and a plan, you also need allies and supporters. And this is exactly what you can find in the new Business Development Center in Heidelberg (BDC HD).
The American forces have left Heidelberg and now we are creating urban spaces full of possibilities: A meeting place for founders, students, investors, industrialists, and scientists. The BDC HD, part of the new Heidelberg Innovation Park (HIP), has been developed in the midst of a future ecosystem with a campus feel and optimal industrial and infrastructural connections since 2017. Located at the northern tip, it is the first new building heralding the development of the HIP. Existing and new buildings on this site, which is perfectly situated logistically, will house a new district for innovation. Start-ups and established IT and digital media, biotech, microelectronics, and environmental technology companies are able to settle on the 17 hectares of space. There is no other more suitable location for this ambitious project—work connected in the truest sense of the word.
Our goal is to enable the future—the BDC is our workshop. This versatile, open and modern building gives smart and creative minds the opportunity to meet, discuss and transform ideas into reality.
Flexibility, versatility and top infrastructure makes the BDC a high-tech nucleus. Ttenants have access to a broad range of support services and opportunities for developing an idea into a start-up and products.
Since October 2019, you too can find a future office and laboratory in the more than 4,000 m2 of rental space, enabling you to successfully grow in Heidelberg.
