A space for creativity: Our Innovation Space
"A brilliant space with charm" is how Clemens Stief described the new room at the opening. The room is for creating innovative ideas, developing new solutions and out of the box thinking - a space for free thoughts.
The transformation of the former electrical warehouse was directed by Sergio Capobianco, who created an inspiring place with bold colors and lots of wood.
Peter Neske is particularly proud of the "Freiburg fingerprint" which the premises display by pictures with examples of green innovation in the region.
The space on the Freiburg site is available to all Pfizer employees.
