Hroughout history, there have been instances of scientific or technological breakthroughs that have completely changed the way we all live. We believe that our open and linked innovation approach is the most effective means of generating the breakthroughs needed to solve today’s urgent issues.

Combining diverse strength

Enterprises are distinguished by the unique nature of their core technologies and research programs.
Each time two entities combine their capabilities, there is potential for a reaction-a synthesis that creates new value. This is the key moment for us, generating the spark that transforms imagination into creation.
