leap:up - The Life Science Enabler

biosaxony Management GmbH became leap:up GmbH

For us, „leap:up“ means taking a bold leap, in your mind and in the real world. With our new name, we want to express even more what we are all about: a life science enabler that helps you take the big leap. With our resources, our expertise and our community, we create the ideal conditions for your work and your success in the life sciences.

New name, new logo, new design: Why no longer „biosaxony“?

With biosaxony e.V. and biosaxony Management GmbH, we can look back on a successful history. We started in 2009 with biotechnology and were soon able to expand our services to the fields of medical technology and healthcare. biosaxony became a permanent fixture in the life sciences sector, even beyond the borders of Saxony.

As our success grew, so did the expectations and demands that we placed on ourselves: biosaxony e.V. and its members form the basis. Through this community and with the help of the association's roots, biosaxony Management GmbH was able to grow beyond itself. Today, we are more than „Bio“ and more than „Saxony“.

‚leap:up‘ combines this growing self-image with our promise to the life sciences. Our new brand symbolises the „leap“ from thought to action, from scientific theory to entrepreneurial practice. From potential to real economic success. We want to encourage and empower researchers, founders and companies in the life sciences.
