A Bayer research scientist is to be awarded the Innovation Prize of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia for the development of a special-purpose film that enables high-quality holograms to be produced at low cost. The prize, worth €100,000, goes to physicist Dr. Friedrich-Karl Bruder of Bayer MaterialScience, who together with his team developed a new basis for three-dimensional and colored holograms.

“The award of the North Rhine-Westphalian Innovation Prize is a great honor that we at Bayer are proud to receive,” said Bayer Board of Management member Dr. Wolfgang Plischke. It is the second-most valuable award for innovation in Germany.
