Work with us – career and cooperation
In the Digital Incubation Unit (DIU) at BASF Coatings, you will learn what it means to combine the best of both worlds: the exploratory, agile mindset of a startup with the expertise and network of a global corporation.
Career at the DIU
At the DIU, we are constantly looking for extraordinary, talented people who want to drive digital innovations with us. Are you known for your agile, digital mindset? Do you have a passion for creating new things? You’ve come to the right place!
Before joining the DIU as a full-time employee, I worked as a working student on a wide variety of venture projects and also provided strategic support. The international team constellation and diversified work inspired me from the very beginning! For me, it is the open feedback culture, the support for my professional development as well as the great working environment near the port in Münster that distinguish DIU.
I completed the on-the-job phase of my dual studies course in the DIU. My toolbox was filled with Design Thinking, Lean Startup, Scrum and agile work! For me, it was the first time to work in this type of environment and believe me: I have never learned so much about business model innovation, startup agility and our company’s ecosystem in such a short time. Thank you!

Collaborations and partnerships with the DIU
We look to strong partnerships and networks with which we can drive digital innovations together. External perspectives are incorporated into our developments from an early stage.
As part of the startup scene both inside and outside BASF, we are in constant contact with other digital units, startups, universities and institutes. We attend events and pitches to discover the latest trends early and to network.
Identifying new potential from technologies and markets together. That's what makes working with DIU so rewarding. And, of course, the great team.
The involvement of the DIU employees in our new Digital Business and Innovation Management master’s program is enormously enriching. We professors and the students enjoy it enormously. Thank you! We hope to find lots of new ideas!
