S5. E1. 來自於「夥伴」的創新力量  Why We Believe in Partnerships

病患的需求是我們每天辛勤工作的動力與使命感的來源，並致力於創造出能幫助生活的突破性療法。從百靈佳殷格翰自1995年成立以來，同仁們「為人類和動物開發創新藥物及療法」的使命從未改變。

我們的科學家致力於落實創新的承諾，每一天都在較少被關注的科學領域探索，企圖在原本尚無解決方案的領域開創新路，期盼能創造更多重大貢獻，帶給患者更高的生活品質，並在預防性藥物與治療領域發展。

百靈佳殷格翰的目標，是確保我們能確實站在醫學發展的最前端。為了實現我們的願景，我們樂於與各個夥伴建立聯盟，強化彼此的力量；藉由與學術機構以及其他企業合作，充實我們內部專業知識，齊心拓展科學創新的視野。

我們在生命科學領域，目前已有150多個合作夥伴，約佔生產計畫的50%。彼此分享知識與經驗，並提供建議與支持給具有發展性的初創公司，以加速靈感構思萌芽到成為醫療方案的進程。我們堅信：藉由合作，我們都能學到更多、做得更多、更有價值。

無論是面對內部同仁或外部的合作夥伴，我們都秉持一樣的態度與承諾。我們是團隊合作者，也是造浪者，我們鼓勵多元文化、合作與開放的環境，以熱情、正直的態度面對工作，尊重、信任且同理彼此，並懷抱相同的願景：為人類和動物開發更新、更優質的藥物。

Why We Believe in Partnerships

Patients are the reason we come to work each day. They inspire us in our mission to create breakthrough therapies that change lives. Developing new medicines and treatment options for humans and animals is a top priority for Boehringer Ingelheim’s employees – and has been for over 135 years.

Every day our scientists are continuing this commitment to innovation by taking the paths scientifically less travelled. We focus on areas of unmet medical need and thus make a major contribution to improving health. We are innovative in order to provide our patients with a better quality of life and to ensure progressive, preventive animal health.

Our goal is to make sure that we stay at the forefront of science and technology. To achieve our vision, we embrace the power of partnerships and alliances. We supplement our in-house expertise by cooperating with academic institutions and other companies with which we jointly develop scientific innovations.

Within the life science community, we are currently pursuing more than 150 partnerships which represent around 50 percent of our pipeline projects. We share our knowledge and experience and provide promising startups with advice and support in order to accelerate the process from the germination of an idea to the realization of a therapeutic option. We are convinced that by working together we can learn more, do more, and achieve more.

Our commitment to partnerships applies both within our company and outwardly. We are team workers and innovators, and we encourage a diverse, collaborative, and open environment. We work with passion and integrity while aiming for success. We approach one another with respect, trust, and empathy and share a joint vision: to improve human and animal health.
