With the largest R&D engine in AgTech, Bayer Crop Science innovates internally to bring the best products to market. Bayer also  operates externally around the globe in the quest to support and enrich our R&D pipeline.  This approach provides unique opportunities to find and cultivate innovations to support our customers, but it also provides a communication platform to position Bayer as a partner of choice and a thought leader in our industry. External engagement helps us to build new relationships and demonstrates our transparency and willingness to partner on innovation. Bayer develops collaborations and partnerships through a variety of vehicles, programs, and funding models. These varied approaches provide opportunities for outreach to diverse communities and ways to drive innovations though funding, investment, co-creation, co-location and in-kind support. Working and investing in this manner provides an unparalleled level of visibility into Bayer, helping partners understand who we are, and what we stand for. Additionally, by working directly with external parties, we can mitigate misinformation, reduce risk perceptions, and engage advocates. These external collaborations are a key part of our R&D efforts, making them also a key part of Bayer’s mission to enable Health for All and Hunger for None.
