Innovation means the changing from the past to the future step by step. While the Merck Group celebrates its 350^th birthday, they not only are the witnesses of this era, but also the world’s oldest pharmaceutical and chemical company, the world’s leading technology company in fields like healthcare, life sciences, and performance materials.

While the 5-year-old TechCrunch International Innovation Summit may seem young in comparison, behind the 60,000+ viewers, 2800+ start-ups, there are the dreams and enthusiasm for the next decade and the next hundred years.
