Three years of Pfizer Healthcare Hub Freiburg
The last three years have flown by: based on our industry partnerships such as with the Smart Green Accelerator or Badencampus, we have been able to carry out exciting projects with startups like perto or spin-offs like Mondas. Likewise, we realize projects together with technology companies like Siemens or Schölly and thus bring great innovations into the Pfizer world and support young companies with their challenges.
Our unique innovation axis to our hub in Berlin is alive – especially in the area of life sciences we offer young startups from all over the world various starting points for further projects.
We would like to thank all those who have supported us in making the Pfizer Healthcare Hub an important contact for innovations in the field of technology and sustainability and look forward to continuing this success story!
