Cheers to our global gang! 🌍🌟 As the year draws to a close, we're giving a shoutout to the 13,000 amazing contributors on our platform. By leveraging Byron, the exchange within our company becomes more seamless, paving the way for new projects and strengthening our unity within Bayer. 🚀 Presenting this exclusive POAP as a massive thank you, because without you, this platform wouldn't be what it is. 🙌 Byron, an acronym for Bayer Open Network, is our Skills database for Bayer employees, including speed networking. We kicked off in 2018 as a True North grassroots side initiative, going live in 2020. Created by over 40 students and programming enthusiasts with the help of EY Croatia. Today, we have 13,000 registered users from 89 countries, in 293 cities. People have searched for something in Byron at least 25,000 times and engaged in 31,000 1:1 Speed network meetings. http://go/byron Looking ahead, we're thrilled about the future and the prospect of our community growing even larger. Can't wait for more collaborations and successes together in the coming year! 🎉✨ Art created by Lena Schermer

It ain't Christmas til somebody cries - You have met Stefankai in jul-time of December 2023. You might have discussed Digital transformation or just chatted on innovation for the health sector. Maybe you also touched base on other disruptive topics and have listened to a fair share of movie quotes of the 90s (see above) and Shakespeare citations... :p As Digital Lead for Bayer Pharma, Stefankai supports Hemophilia and Ophthalmology business and medical functions with advice on how to leverage digital for furthering our vision of Health for all, Hunger for none. This POAP can be received, after you met Stefankai virtually or in person, via email or by tapping your phone on the IYK disc - a cool way to claim POAPs.

AWS car racing event @Bayer to learn and connect artificial intelligence enthusiasts. On June 21, 2023, Bayer will participate in an AWS-organized DeepRacer event. In 4 hours, teams will program small cars using machine learning algorithms to race in tracks and compete to win. From their website, it is a “cloud-based 3D racing simulator, fully autonomous 1/18th scale race car driven by reinforcement learning”. A fun way and excellent opportunity to get hands-on experience in machine learning. The main events will run in Berlin, São Paulo, and St. Louis, and many colleagues will participate remotely in the race from other cities not only in Germany, but also in Poland, Spain, and other countries. You can support the event with logistics or learn some machine learning and be a participant, or just be there to meet other AI / data scientists from other departments, since many colleagues from Marketing, R&D, IT, Product Supply, Controlling, Facility Management, and Site Security, are co-organizing or participating in this. Imagine how much you will learn. For more information about the AWS DeepRacer, see: https://aws.amazon.com/deepracer/
