Abstract

Der vorliegende Bericht stellt die Ergebnisse der Evaluation der BMBF-Fördermaßnahmen BioChance und BioChancePlus dar. Beide zielten als Vorläufer der Förderinitiative KMUinnovativ: Biotechnologie darauf ab, innovative und anspruchsvolle Forschungsvorhaben von kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen in der Biotechnologie zu ermöglichen. Die beiden Fördermaßnahmen unterschieden sich in Förderziel und Design: Während BioChance ab 1999 darauf abzielte, neu gegründete Firmen zu unterstützen, ging es in BioChancePlus ab 2003 darum, die weitere Entwicklung junger Biotechnologie-Unternehmen und deren risikoreichen Projekte voranzutreiben. Die vorliegende Analyse zeigt, dass BioChance und BioChancePlus eine angemessene Reaktion auf die Schwierigkeiten waren, mit denen die dedizierten Biotechnologie-Unternehmen in Deutschland in den Jahren 1999-2009 zu kämpfen hatten. Die Fördermaßnahmen wurden in ihrem Design jeweils adäquat weiterentwickelt und den Erfordernissen der Zielgruppe entsprechend angepasst. BioChance und BioChancePlus haben ihre Zielgruppen in hohem Maße erreicht: Von BioChance profitierten 15% der jungen Biotechnologiefirmen in Deutschland, der Nachfolger BioChancePlus erreichte 40% seiner Zielgruppe. Insgesamt erhielten 260 Unternehmen eine Zuwendung. 85% davon wurden nur einmal gefördert. Die öffentliche Förderung stellte eine wichtige, jedoch keineswegs die dominierende Finanzierungsquelle für die Unternehmen dar. So flossen im Zeitraum 2000-2009 rund 3 Mrd. Euro an VC-Investitionen in die Biotechnologie-Branche, während sich die öffentliche Förderung auf ca. 5% dieser Summe belief. Bei BioChance erhielten 17% der eingereichten Anträge eine Förderung, bei BioChancePlus waren es 29%. Insgesamt wurden durch die Maßnahme BioChance etwa 36 Millionen Euro und durch BioChancePlus 133 Millionen Euro an Fördergeldern gewährt.
