 ## The power of reimagining

The most powerful ideas are born when people from all walks of life come together – open-minded, inspired, and curious. In an environment that fuels creativity, encourages dialogue, and embraces new perspectives. A setting where we reimagine the world together – for the aim of improving lives for everyone.

The Eurovision Song Contest is a celebration of exactly that spirit: a global stage that brings together a rich mix of cultures and ideas, showing what’s possible when we unleash imagination and innovation.

Novartis is proud to support this extraordinary event – created in Switzerland, and now hosted in Basel, our hometown. A celebration that brings to life the values of togetherness, openness, and progress. And one that reflects everything we believe in at Novartis: Reimagining Medicine, together.



## Our stage, our voices, our people

We’re turning up the volume on creativity at Novartis and looking beyond our laboratories and offices.

With 78 000 employees from over 100 countries, at Novartis, we believe in the power of collective creativity and international collaboration — values we share with Eurovision. Through the universal language of music, we shine a spotlight on the diverse skills and expertise that drive Novartis forward. Going beyond our work in science and medicine to highlight our varied creative passions, whether it's music, art, or dance, Reimagining Medicine, together is a salute to the fusion of creativity and innovation that makes us who we are.

By showcasing these stories, we uncover each one of your unique narratives, appreciating our people's diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences.

Novartis is sponsoring the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 with a broader commitment to community engagement and inclusion.

###  Claire's story 

> Thanks to music, I'm not afraid of failure… When you play music, you learn from your mistakes and in fact, you can't progress without accepting that you’ll sometimes hit the wrong notes. And I know that it's by trying, by daring, that I end up succeeding and improving.

###  Anisah’s story 

> Imagine a group of musicians coming together in an orchestra, creating a piece of music that seemingly like magic appear out of the individual parts. Science can be the same if a group of individual scientists come together united towards a common cause, may produce an outcome that is far more innovative than an individual.
