Do you have a granted patent or a published patent application, or a registered and published utility model or design? – If you can answer “yes” to any of these questions, you are eligible to participate in the Henkel Partners in Innovation Program  We are looking for ideas for products, processes and designs that relate to our three business areas. If you have invented something that fits our criteria, we would like to know more about it.

Today, Henkel earns every fourth euro from products launched over the past three years. In the future, Henkel would like to be generating 30% of its sales through new product introductions and establish itself as the “Innovation Leader” in its global markets. Henkel believes that great ideas can come from anywhere. We have a strong track record of working with innovators and suppliers outside our company. We have been successfully collaborating with research institutes, universities and other companies. With the implementation of the Henkel Partners in Innovation Program,  Henkel invites independent inventors worldwide to submit patented ideas or inventions for review.

What are we looking for?
