Economical potentials e.g. last morning
- Plasma technology influences our daily life
already!
- The value of all this economic activity is hard
to estimate
- A small example:
Displays and TV’s are a $200 bill. market
- In the absence of plasma the $2 trillion
telecommunications industry would arguably
not exist.

Birthplace of BalticNet-PlasmaTec (BNPT)
Representatives of universities and research
institutions of Greifswald, Szczecin and
Koszalin signed the contract on 05th
November 2004 in Greifswald.
In July 2005 was the first workshop in
Greifswald as a project activity part financed
by Interreg III-A Euroregion Pomerania.
Ongoing activities partly financed by the
International Bureau of the BMBF
13
The BalticNet-PlasmaTec 2010
- 48 members
- From 10 countries
- Increasing number of projects

Plasma technology is an interdisciplinary key-technology
19
The competition is global and takes place between regions
Euroregion Pomerania has great chances for a good position
as a competitive region, but a cluster needs also companies
A common strategy (and action) is a key-success-factor
