The Research and Development Activities of the Boehringer Ingelheim Corporation (BIC)
As a research and innovation-driven pharmaceutical group of companies, Boehringer Ingelheim is committed to the goal of discovering and developing products which represent high therapeutic value for patients, physicians and health care providers.
For a global player in the pharmaceutical industry it is no longer sufficient to develop drugs that simply match products already on the market. That is why we are constantly striving to develop new therapeutic solutions. Boehringer Ingelheim dedicates annually almost one fifth of net sales in its largest business segment, Prescription Medicines, to first-class research and development so that we can find new and better ways to improve health.
