Imagine: Hope for youth with disabilities in South America

People with disabilities face barriers that make it difficult for them to participate in everyday life. Barriers present not only as a lack of accessibility or of assistive technologies, but also as prevalent negative attitudes such as stigma, stereotyping, discrimination, and prejudice. Our Making More Health (MMH) partner organizations from Argentina and Colombia, Andar and Fedar, are sharing their knowledge to help overcome these barriers.

Imagine: Engaging with social entrepreneurs for sustainable health solutions

Making More Health (MMH) is one of our flagship initiatives aimed at creating healthy, inclusive, and sustainable communities around the world. We spoke to Dr. Ilka Wicke, Head of Sustainability Social, about how it has evolved and where it is headed.

Imagine: More women for entrepreneurial health solutions

Women continue to be underrepresented when it comes to founding companies. This also has a negative impact on Boehringer Ingelheim, as it results in a lack of talented women and capable external partners. To address this issue, we conducted the Top Female Founders summer school in 2023.
