Executive Summary
Japanese camera and medical products developer Olympus has opted to locate its new life science research and development centre in Munich, Germany. Tokyo-based Olympus will invest some Euro15m ($21m) in the project, which will be opened officially in October. By 2009, it will be employing a staff of 450, who will be involved in production as well as R&D in the fields of molecular diagnostics, laboratory automation and digital processing in microscopy. Olympus' regional HQ, Olympus Europa Holding, is located in Hamburg. The proximity of the University Hospital Grosshadern to the new Bavarian site was an advantage, said Olympus regional executive managing director Dr Helmut Kohler. The group will be working in close co-operation with the hospital.
