Bayer HealthCare brought the birth control pill to market in 1961. The oral contraceptive transformed society and allowed thousands of women and couples to take control of family planning. Today, with a workforce of roughly 5,000 in Berlin alone, Germany’s largest pharmaceutical company continues to stand for pioneering worldwide achievements in new drug R&D – and for Berlin’s innovative strength as an industrial location.  Berlin – the place to be for future industries.
