Our central technology platforms in Ludwigshafen combine BASF's
know-how. They form the core of our
Research Verbund together with our global research facilities

In its research strategy BASF concentrates major
technology-driven issues of particular relevance to the future in
five growth clusters. These cross-sectional technologies are
outside the realm of the classical disciplines and can only be
brought to fruition by interdisciplinary and international
cooperation.
