BREMEN INNOVATION PARK
The plan had two main programs:
•    Restructuring Bremen's scientific landscape: It was argued that, with a different skills profile oriented more towards new economic sectors, the university could function as an incubator for economic spinoffs. With education being a regional responsibility in Germany, the city-state status enabled these
policies. In addition, efforts were made to improve the scientific knowledge-base of the city by attracting specific highly regarded non-university research institutes.
•    Strengthening the regional economic base: The city decided to provide assistance to selected well-established economic sectors based on advanced technological developments, such as aerospace and aircraft production, automobile production, maritime and logistics services. The plan aimed to establish links between academic institutions and local and regional
businesses in order to transfer and apply knowledge.
