GE Healthcare

We are GE Healthcare, a $17 billion division of General Electric Company, with a mission to transform healthcare and an impressive record of improving and extending lives. GE has been recognized as the world’s top research and development (R&D) company for proactively addressing the world’s biggest “high-tech challenges” and first among R&D facilities where employees would most like to work, according to R&D Magazine. GE ranked second out of 130 companies for overall best R&D companies in the world. GE’s research and development operation has a proud history that spans more than a century. GE was the first to establish an industrial research lab in the U.S. in Schenectady, N.Y. in 1900. Today, GE Global Research is considered the world’s most diversified industrial research lab. At its headquarters in Niskayuna, N.Y., more than 1,600 hundred technologists – the majority of whom hold doctorates – come from 55 countries to develop advanced technologies for every GE business. Since 1999, GE Global Research has expanded with nearly 700 technologists working at three additional facilities in Bangalore, India; Shanghai, China; and Munich, Germany. All together, GE has more than 27,000 technologists across the GE businesses working to develop the next generation of technologies and products. “We have the opportunity each day to work on long-term technology programs that will solve some of the world’s most challenging problems. And we have the breadth and depth of technology and talent that is unparalleled,” says Mark Little, GE Global Research Senior Vice President and Director. “These accolades by R&D Magazine confirm GE and GE Global Research’s leadership in technology and R&D. Our technologists at GRC and across GE are critical to this success and to GE’s growth. Congratulations to each of you on this honor.” “GE has a world-class team of scientists and engineers across the businesses and at Global Research. They are the passion behind the technology and innovation that makes our company so outstanding,” says K. Murali, Senior Human Resources Manager, GE Global Research. GE scored well in the remaining three categories. GE ranked second in R&D’s influence on society and most improved R&D. To determine these rankings, R&D Magazine editors analyzed 130 R&D-intensive companies on intellectual property, community service and financial growth trends, as well as surveyed its readership to evaluate R&D operations. According to the article, “Our readers’ recognition of the overall strong global strength and depth of General Electric’s R&D capabilities and its fair treatment of its researchers likely resulted in its selection as the leading vote getter to the question ‘What industrial companies would you most like to work for in terms of their R&D work?’.”
