Heppe Medical Chitosan in Time Magazine
"What Germany got for its $2 Trillion" is the title of the article by Peter Gumbel. He is looking at the economic achievements since the German reunification. He takes a closer look at Halle (Saale) and the Halle area. What has changed ever since. One achievement ist the Technology and Founders' Center in Halle (Saale) (TGZ) - the residence of HMC+.
He wrote the following about the TGZ after visiting HMC+:Similarly, on the edge of Halle's Neustadt, in a brand-new technology center built on the site of the former Soviet army base, Katja Heppe pulls the claws of a snow crab out of a plastic bag. She's 29, a biotechnology researcher who specializes in synthesizing a polymer from crabs' claws — it's used as an ingredient by pharmaceutical and cosmetics companies. Heppe founded her firm three years ago. Up to 50% of the investment in research and development is subsidized, and Heppe says she came to Halle because there's a supportive network in place to help small startups such as hers.
