Promotion In the year 2000, the Free State of Saxony identified biotechnology as a key technology of the future, leading to extremely positive progress in the support and promotion of economic development in this field. A large number of promotional schemes were built up; all kinds of financing methods such as investment programmes, loans and support for founders of new businesses were and are still put into biotechnological development in Dresden.
