On 1st January 2003, the Innovation Centre for Medical Technology and Pharmaceuticals (IZMP) moved into its attractive new premises in the centre of Erlangen. After an interim period of about one and a half years during which the IZMP was able to attract several firms, the new building in Henkestraße 91 has turned the IZMP into a clearly visible milestone on the way towards making Erlangen the "capital" of medicine in Germany.

The principle of success behind high-tech innovation centres which seek links to university institutes was implemented through the IZMP. In conjunction with the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU), a building has been completed on the land in Henkestraße which houses both the IZMP with its office and laboratory space for start-up companies and the University Institute of Medical Technology. The foyer shared by the two is a symbol of the link between science and industry and it also serves to stimulate the exchange of ideas between researchers and new start-up companies.

On an area of about 3,900 square metres the IZMP provides highly flexible premises, with office and laboratory units of between 50 and 500 square metres as well as many other facilities, like, for example, a cafeteria or centrally located conference rooms which make the work of new start-up firms easier.
