On September 1st, Lipotype joined a unique banquet called “Dresden is(s)t bunt”, a play on words that means both “Dresden is colorful” and “Dresden eats colorfully”.
This annual banquet is a celebration of diversity and hospitality. It is intended to send a clear message: Saxony is open, inclusive, and proudly international.
Every year, people gather at a large row of hundreds of tables. This time, there were 271 tables, each one brimming with homemade dishes from around the world. People from all walks of life come together to share food, stories, and laughter in a joyful atmosphere of connection and cultural exchange. This year’s theme, “Sharing and Listening,” resonated strongly with Lipotype’s values. Science, integrity, quality, learning, service, and synergy shape how we work, collaborate, and grow our international community every day.
Lipotype’s table was a flavourful reflection of our team’s diversity and creativity, from Hungarian sausage with its bold aroma to crispy and spicy samosas that disappeared in minutes. There were feta-spinach pastries, rosemary focaccia, and a variety of homemade cakes, all of which disappeared almost as quickly as they arrived. Every dish had a story.
Of course, we didn’t just stay at our own table. We wandered, tasted, chatted, played games, and connected with people from other communities and companies. It was a reminder of how food can break down barriers and bring people together.
All in all, it was a joyful and inspiring experience that allowed us to share the message that our creativity, synergy, and growth are rooted in diversity. Especially in science, openness, collaboration, and teamwork are key. We are proud to stand alongside so many people celebrating a colourful and welcoming Dresden.
