Chemistry has a long tradition in Germany. Nearly 150 years ago, creative scientists and daring entrepreneurs came together and laid the foundation for a great industry. In only a few decades, its achievements enriched our world: initially with dyestuffs, next with fertilizers and Pharmaceuticals and, after that, mainly with new materials. This key industry is and remains an important cornerstone for a sustainable development - because chemistry is often invisible, but almost always indispensable for practical answers to the challenges of the global society: environmentally sound energy supplies, sufficient food, better health for an aging population, more mobility in newly industrialized countries and in the megacities of our planet. Products and problem solutions from the chemical industry will make increasingly important contributions in these respects. Germany's third largest industry has the nucleus for the necessary innovations.
