The Deutsche Biofonds Operations center is located in Erlangen, in the Franken area of Germany, in close proximity to the Siemens head office. What has now become the Deutsche Biofonds has for close to three centuries worked closely with Siemens in a large number of projects and the Deutsche Biofonds is carrying that torch forward.Part of the Deutsche Biofondss Modus Operandi is the ambition to keep the company core and central office as small as possible to reduce overhead costs, whilst having Deutsche Biofonds personnel located in projects around the world.Thus, through 2010 and 2011 Deutsche Biofonds Group will have fully operating offices in Ankara, Turkey as well as in Dakar, Senegal for project management purposes, in Hamburg, Germany, for retail fund raising reasons as well as in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg for institutional fund raising reasons.
