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

Today is World Hemophilia Day! Thank you for celebrating with us by minting the „Say Yes to WHD 2023“ POAP.​ With this POAP you receive an exclusive preview to our new Jivi campaign. ​ Patient's lives are not fixed; their treatment shouldn't be either. Fixed regimens ask PwH to fit their life around their therapy, without stopping to consider what each life may look like or how different they could be PwH deserve a therapy that allows them to take control of their protection and live the life they want to live, throughout the week. With Jivi, they can unlock the freedom to say ‘yes’ more and live the life that they want to, across the week. So in short: Jivi, ready when they are.​ The theme of the event this year is “Access for All: Prevention of bleeds as the global standard of care”. Building on last year’s theme, the call to action for the community in 2023 is to come together and advocate with local policy makers and governments for improved access to treatment and care with an emphasis on better control and prevention of bleeds for all people with bleeding disorders (PWBDs). This means the implementation of home-based treatment as well as prophylactic treatment to help those individuals have a better quality of life. ​ Learn more here: https://wfh.org/world-hemophilia-day/

I want to take a moment to express our gratitude and appreciation to all of our colleagues for your hard work, dedication and enthusiasm over the last 6 months on our highly innovative POAP project. Your contributions have been invaluable and have greatly contributed to our success so far, being able to even finalize the Bayer POAPs terms and conditions in the last few weeks. https://bayer.com/poap During this time, we dropped over 250 POAPs, onboarded 600+ colleagues and external friends, and have all learned so much together, challenging ourselves to think outside the box. Pharma IT Hackathon, Bayer Summer Fest, meetings across all regions and divisions, Networking For Health, Budenzauber, Bayer Denmark festival, World's Contraception Day, Bayer Greece CardioBeans... We have developed new skills and gained valuable experience, and we are grateful to have had the opportunity to work alongside such talented and dedicated colleagues. Looking ahead to the next year, we are excited to continue working with all of you to ideate and define how we can use web3 in our job functions. Let's keep up the great work and continue to strive for even greater success. Thank you again for your participation and commitment, we are confident that the knowledge and experience we have gained together will serve us well in the future.
