Founded as a spin-off from the University of Leipzig, c-LEcta has developed into an internationally active company that develops enzymes for food, drugstore products and medicines. Supported by the city of Leipzig in its early years, the company now employs more than 130 people.
In the new centre, over 100 specialists work on biotechnological solutions that are designed to promote efficiency, sustainability and health in equal measure. The move not only demonstrates the success of a Leipzig start-up, but also the dynamism of a location that is one of the leading biotech clusters in Germany.
