Success Stories

What happens when innovative minds meet? That's exactly what happened last autumn at the 5-HT Innovators Club. Peter Neske from Pfizer meets entrepreneurs Robert Hoffmeister, Saribek Karapetyan and Dr. Benito Campos at the 5-HT Innovators Club, they strike up a conversation and the rest is an innovation collaboration success story.

Goodly Innovations is the leading provider of process instruction solutions for manufacturing, including world-class augmented reality instructions for regulated industries, with particular expertise in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries - so it's no wonder that it successfully networked with Pfizer and its future plant in Freiburg.

But Visual Abstract also has a lot to offer, because there are more than 35 million medical publications on PubMed, more than 1 million new ones per year: the abundance of information is not a problem of the future. It has become the biggest threat to scientific progress. The startup creates visual summaries and high-quality metadata for researchers at the push of a button, offering excellent added value For a corporate with many digital interactions, an exciting potential "match".

The 5-HT Innovators Club is a matchmaking door opener with many personal 1-to-1 interactions and exciting contacts - simply a fruitful networking event," emphasises Peter Neske, Innovation Lead at Pfizer Healthcare Hub.

Benito Campos from Visual Abstract recalls the successful event: "I think the Innovators Club is one of those rare cases, one of those rare events where there are 100% intrinsically motivated people."
