BASF aims to break new ground in digitalization. The company aims to address the challenges and issues posed by digital transformation together with young, innovative companies. Therefore, the chemical company is now seeking startups from all over the world. Interested companies can apply for specific tasks, so-called "digital challenges," in the areas of human resources, performance materials, sales, and smart surfaces until January 15.
After a successful application, the teams will work on the issues in three- to six-month pilot projects and receive budgets of up to €100,000. The best solutions will then be implemented globally.
“Startup expertise for concrete digitalization projects”
“With the ‘digital challenges’ we can use the valuable startup expertise for concrete digitalization projects,”
so Thomas Paschkowski, Digital Technology Scout in the BASF 4.0 project.
"We meet startups on equal terms and create lucrative business opportunities for both sides. We seek out finished products and solutions whose use can be quickly acquired and implemented using an expedited process."
