We boldly tackle the transformation of the economy and society, rely on innovations and be open to new technologies. This is the path we are taking resolutely and systematically at BASF. Research and development is the core of BASF and we have an incredible team. We will create the transformation.

Plastics make an important contribution in electric vehicles. For example, they are used to achieve stable impact protection and safe electricity distribution, as thermally conductive adhesives and to color-code high-voltage components and connectors.

My team and I are developing new coolants for electric vehicles. They contribute to increased safety of battery vehicles and provide reliable corrosion protection in the cooling system.

We developed a new electrocoat for electric vehicles. It meets established sustainability standards, protects the car’s body from corrosion and enables the reduction of CO₂ emissions during production. The use of digital methods helped us to speed up the development.

Wheat is one of the world’s most important staple crops. At BASF, we aim to unlock the full potential of it. Our global breeding platform delivers locally tailored hybrid seed varieties. We are working to improve yield and yield stability in wheat.

Pioneering is part of our DNA, and so it is in research when developing sustainable crop protection products. We develop not only products and new technologies, but advance the way we innovate.

We all know we need to make agriculture even more efficient and environmentally friendly. We hear it from farmers, from partners and society. Our motivation at BASF Digital Farming: Enabling to produce crops more sustainably.
