INTERNATIONAL NATIVES
Can-Do meets self-confidence.
We are closely interconnected, international natives who feel comfortable with speed and enjoy thinking. We have been in the business long enough to recognize where we can push boundaries, and curious enough to want exactly that.
Experience, time, and depth.
The history of ie Research GmbH begins in 1994. Barbara Götz starts in Berlin Kreuzberg and leads a successful field agency for the next five years, which quickly earns an excellent reputation in the market.
This success and the growing expertise were brought into the founding of our own studio in the heart of West Berlin near Ku’damm and the legendary Bahnhof Zoo in 1999. Barbara Götz merges with Interview und Exploration Julia Otte GmbH to form a joint venture, I+E Interview und Exploration Berlin GmbH.
The field agency, along with the popular studio in the historic Bikini building, offering views of both the Berlin Zoo and the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, is our home for the next eight years. In 2006, the new Berlin Hauptbahnhof opens, Berlin rearranges itself, a new center emerges. Acknowledging our own success, in 2007 we finally move to Potsdamer Platz. At this new, historically significant location, both the old historic city center and a place vividly divided by the Berlin Wall, the studio is established until 2023. Our current studio, equipped with the latest technology, is once again located in the heart of old West Berlin, in close proximity to Kurfürstendamm.
Since the end of 2010, we have been known as I+E RESEARCH GMBH. We now coordinate approximately 500 qualitative market research projects nationwide annually, focusing on healthcare, trend research, and B2B/B2C.
Great stories from the past are important to us, but an exciting tomorrow is even more important.
From the North Sea coast to the big city – Aydin Hussein is known among friends and family as a globetrotter. After many years working in the luxury hotel industry as a concierge, where she pursued the fulfillment of the most daring guest wishes – hiring a train for private purposes, finding the fastest car under the sun, a piece of cake for this woman. After three years of making the impossible possible, she moved out into the world. From Cuba to Weimar to Israel, she dedicated her sabbatical year to traveling and preparing for her Semitic studies at the Free University of Berlin. Away from work, Aydin invests her time in giving her body the necessary balance to her working day by running, climbing and belly dancing. As a dog mom, she explores the capital and its surroundings together with Goofy, a dachshund mix, and now faces the challenges of market research.
She has many years of experience in market research, as a project manager and also in recruitment and now enriches our team as a project manager in the consumer sector. Structure and close cooperation with clients is very important to her. In her free time, she spends time with her children and traveling is also a great passion of hers.
The experts for healthcare
As an independent research agency, I+E Research regularly examines products and services in the healthcare sector. We routinely organize seminars and interview experts – and users – to this end. We also write studies and trend reports on subjects.
Improving a healthcare product means letting doctors and healthcare professionals have their say – but also listening to the patients who use those products. For this reason, in recent years our surveys have increasingly focused on patients and end users. We are convinced that medical products and devices can best be optimized with the support of those affected.
