Open Innovation

Collaboration Promotes Innovative Strength

Beiersdorf's international success is characterized by strategic collaboration between proven experts in their field. We firmly believe that relevant and transformative innovations emerge at the interfaces where disciplines and expertise meet to go beyond the status quo with new, creative ideas. Hence, we selectively combine external knowledge with our own internal expertise and use this complementary know-how to jointly set new standards in skin care. Our strong global collaboration network includes numerous partners – such as renowned research institutes, universities, start-ups, independent scientists and suppliers.

We involve various external partners in many of our development projects and raw material scouting. Since 2016, we have bundled our commitment to open innovation activities under the name “Pearlfinders – We Open Innovation”. The associated online platform “Trusted Network” gives interested parties from all over the world access to our confidential, scientific questions. The network is based on mutual trust, fairness and partnership and offers the opportunity to contribute your own ideas and solutions.
