The ability to innovate will continue to be an essential factor of the BMW Group's success in worldwide competition. It is thus vital for the BMW Group to have its finger on the pulse of all markets, in order to recognize trends early and respond to these rapidly with the appropriate solutions.

BMW Group specialists are driven by their boundless curiosity and the constant quest to create the perfect automobile. This curiosity and desire for absolute perfection spur on engineers in diverse areas to search for creative solutions. An important prerequisite for this search is a system which enables direct and open communication, as does the BMW Group's Innovation network. Worldwide teamwork is the underlying principle in daily work at BMW.

The BMW Group's agile network, which includes its innovation and production networks, is distinguished by unconventional, flexible thought and action.
