Developing new ideas and prototypes based on generative artificial intelligence in just three days – that was the challenge at the "AI Summer School" of the renowned Collège des Ingénieurs. From June 12 to 14, Collège students and companies came together in a hackathon to jointly develop ideas for the use of generative AI. Initiated by Executive Board member Dr. Christian Kirsten, we were part of the summer school for the first time with our own challenge on price management. And it was a success: the WACKER student team ended up in second place! In a follow-up, the winning team of the WACKER challenge will present the developed idea and prototype at the WACKER House in Munich. A joint workshop will then be held to work out the next steps. The private Collège des Ingénieurs was founded in 1986 as a postgraduate education program for engineers and scientists. The Collège, with its headquarters in Paris and branches in Munich and Turin, offers a MBA and a combined MBA and doctoral program. The regular 'Summer Schools' are an important part of the program: In the style of a hackathon, students are offered challenges by the participating companies, which they are expected to complete in a short but intensive 48-hour period. After a final presentation, the ideas are evaluated and awarded prizes by a jury. Both sides benefit from these competitions: The young specialists have the opportunity to gain experience, work on real business topics and present themselves to various companies; and the companies receive creative impulses and interesting contacts to potential applicants. #informationtechnology #digitization #innovation #collaboration Images: Andreas Schwarz

B2Run 2024 🏃🏃: runtastic, funtastic, less plastic. Sporting the new "WE ARE WACKER" shirts for the first time, at yesterday's run more than 100 colleagues from Munich and Burghausen covered the 5 kilometer course through Munich's Olympic Park. Mild summer temperatures and the many drum groups playing and cheering the runners on made for a great atmosphere and a memorable team event. And what a great long finish in the Olympic Stadium! One notable innovation this year was the paper cups that were handed out at the water stands. A great way to prevent plastic waste at this huge event with more than 30,000 participants from 1546 companies. Outside the stadium, the thirsty WACKER finishers toasted their achievements with water or non-alcoholic beer and celebrated their personal performance and the whole team. Can't wait to do it again next year! 💪 #WeAreWACKER #healthandsafety #B2Run2024 #Munich Image: Infront B2Run GmbH

How can VINNAPAS® polymers add to the homeliness of our living rooms? For example, they are an invisible yet essential ingredient of high-performance wood adhesives from D2 to D4. Typical applications are furniture, wood flooring and veneers. So next time you sit down at your wooden table or open those wooden cabinets: you might want to think of VINNAPAS®!

Did you know that the first car came to #India in 1897, and that the first Indian to own a car was Mr Jamsetji Tata a year later? A lot has changed since then, with over four million cars and seventeen million two-wheelers being purchased in India in 2023 alone! Our Panagarh site in Kolkata, which celebrates its two-year anniversary today, is driving growth in this, and many other sectors. Silicone rubbers are an essential “ingredient” in modern cars and it’s at our Panagarh site that we produce them in both solid and liquid form, catering to the rising demand of the growing Indian market. Silicones are increasingly important in the rise of the e-mobility sector in India too, which is becoming a center for the purchase of electric vehicles. To find out more about the use of WACKER silicone rubbers in the automotive industry, amongst others, and about our exciting activity in India more broadly, follow this link http://wch.ag/4bqDe We Invest in Markets - Wacker Annual Report 2023 #WACKERAnnualReport2023 #WeInvestInTheFuture
