Germany - the "Land of Ideas 2006"

VARTA Microbattery belongs to the 365 Places in the "Land of Ideas".

In 2006, the whole world will look on Germany as being the host for the FIFA World Cup. A perfect occasion to show that this country is and always has been the Land of Ideas: Inventors, philosophers, scientists and entrepreneurs have made it thus over the centuries.

A "Place in the Land of Ideas" means a place where ideas emerge, are developed and promoted, and where great inventions happen. With more than 500 patents worldwide, VARTA Microbattery has been selected from more than 1.200 competitors as being one of the most interesting and most representative "Places" in Germany.

Success is made by:

Innovative power, ideas, inventive genius and unique features: these are, according to the "365 Places" project (patron: Germany's President Host Köhler) the qualities a "Place" must possess for being selected. VARTA Microbattery's products are best-known world wide for their excellent performance and reliability.
