Our Initiatives

Ideation Jam

Evonik uses the global ideation jam format to pool the knowledge of employees from all over the world, to generate creative ideas, to assess the potential of these ideas, and ultimately, to develop a business model from them. The process starts online. The participants are then taught important skills on presenting and implementing their ideas in a boot camp, and the best idea is rewarded with the Evonik Entrepreneurship Award.

Entrepreneurship

Evonik has a culture of innovation. Every year, Evonik looks for an entrepreneur among its employees. The aim is for employees to hone their visionary thinking and develop their ideas for new projects.

School of Marketing

The Evonik School of Marketing, organized by Marketing & Sales Excellence, offers training courses tailored to Evonik requirements for all marketing employees of Evonik worldwide. The setup of the three levels—Fundamentals, Advanced, and Mastery—provides Evonik marketers and related functions with customized training plans depending on their individual backgrounds and levels of experience.
