Knowledge is a key for making informed and healthy life decisions. But sometimes, visible information is not enough. We would therefore like to provide a new, empowering knowledge tool which enables all of us to better control the things we eat, the clothes we wear or the medicines we take. By using near-infrared spectroscopy and transforming the spectra into data that everyone can understand, trinamiX makes the invisible visible and broadens our knowledge of the world around us

Here at BASF, we want to be faster, more effective and more innovative than our competitors on a permanent basis. Thanks to our more than 150-year history, we know that our chemical products and systems are the key to success.

All our innovations are developed by our excellent scientists in research and development, all of whom are full of creative potential and energy and who drive research forward with their wealth of knowledge and passion. We are optimistic about the future and provide an open culture where everyone has freedom and responsibility in their work.

With its focus on inventiveness and enthusiasm for research, our innovation approach enables creative and enthusiastic researchers to explore new horizons, so all good ideas have a chance to be developed further at BASF, even if they are outside the current key areas. 

BASF uses the start-up culture as a driver for innovation and promotes a culture of innovation which motivates the employees to think outside of the box and work on business ideas which have yet to be validated by the market or by consumers.
