Our culture & values

Here at Evotec we truly believe and support our #researchneverstops motto. We are passionate about our mission to find treatments for the many currently untreatable diseases. We comprise more than 5,000 smart and diverse colleagues, brought together from across the world with differing cultures, background, and ways of thinking. We are united by our common mission and passion for what we do and how we do it. This is both guided and mirrored by our core values - collaboration, innovation, and entrepreneurship - which inspire and motivate us to move forward together.

Collaboration: We believe the best results are achieved from building upon each other’s strengths and through sharing our knowledge. As a drug discovery and development company partnered with many of the leading pharmaceutical companies, biotechs, and academic institutions, collaboration is part of our DNA. 

Innovation: #researchneverstops – encapsulates the immense value we see in continuous innovation. Guided by our mission, to discover and develop highly effective therapeutics and make them globally available to the patients who need them, we continuously strive to develop innovative approaches and solutions to drug discovery and development.

Entrepreneurship: We are determined to transform our ideas into reality. With Evotec, a smart idea can unfold and mature, with the help of our many resources, into its own business within the Evotec Group.
