Die Digitalisierung in der Forschung trägt dazu bei, die Forschungsarbeit effizienter zu gestalten, Wissensnetzwerke auszubauen und mehr Freiräume für Kreativität zu schaffen. Die Chemikerin Dr. Fangfang Chu und Dr. Eduard Schreiner, Experte für molekulare Simulationen, diskutieren über die Computersimulation einer Mikroverkapselung. Diese werden genutzt, um Wirkstoffe zum Beispiel vor Feuchtigkeit und Sauerstoff zu schützen. Mit Hilfe der Simulation können die komplexen chemischen und physikalischen Wechselwirkungen innerhalb der Mikrokapsel besser verstanden und vorhergesagt werden. So können Versuchsreihen im Labor gezielter geplant werden.
Who we are

Who we are

How we do it

We develop sustainable innovations for our customers in almost all sectors of industry. We can only achieve this together in our Know-How Verbund, since the global challenges require integrated solutions. This is why, every day, we bring together the experience and unique expertise of our employees, our ventures and our partners from science and business. And it is optimism for the future that drives us to do so – for a sustainable future.

Our six business segments –  Chemicals, Materials, Industrial Solutions, Surface Technologies, Nutrition & Care and Agricultural Solutions – maximize competitiveness in our markets.
Our Academic Research Alliances bundle partnerships by topic and region.
We offer scientists from universities and research institutes the opportunity to participate in research projects and thereby to create added value for our society by developing innovative solutions.
We pursue open innovation; together with other innovative companies, we bundle different competences, develop best practices and work on sustainable products and solutions.
Effective and efficient research and development is a prerequisite for innovation. This is how we ensure our long-term business success with chemistry-based solutions for our customers in almost all sectors of industry.
It is our ambition that our customers perceive us as their most attractive partner for all challenges that can be approached with chemistry. This is also reflected in our innovation strategy.
