Exploring More Disruptive Pathways

Innovation at Bayer has a range of horizons from incremental improvements (like enhancing Aspirin packaging) to creating breakthrough / sustainable innovations (such as our anti-coagulant Xarelto). Innovation is also about exploring more disruptive pathways (like our Leaps by Bayer program which strives to move from treating to curing 10 key fields in health and nutrition).

Bayer’s Innovation Agenda is about unleashing our full innovation potential across Bayer. This exciting Employee Entrepreneurship movement is rooted in inspiring with impact; learning methodologies; collaborating with tools and platforms; and connecting to our network of more than 800 innovation coaches. Our experts, programs and opportunities can guide a complete innovation journey from understanding the problem, to ideation-creation, testing and reducing risk of your solutions / new business models to eventually pilot and scale innovations on the market.
