Philips Research
Philips Research is a global organization that helps Philips introduce meaningful innovations that improve people’s lives. We provide technology options for innovations in the area of health and well-being, targeted at both developed and emerging markets. Positioned at the front-end of the innovation process, we work on everything from spotting trends and ideation to proof of concept and – where needed – first-of-a-kind product development.
We believe that every innovation should start with an insight into people’s needs, desires and aspirations. We make a point of understanding what drives them, the dilemmas they face, and how we can help them in the best possible way.
We apply our expertise to address growing global demands for greater energy efficiency and higher levels of sustainability in all aspects of new products and technologies.
At the same time, we have a growing presence in emerging markets, which enables us to deliver innovations that address local market needs.
For almost a century, our approach has enabled us to surprise people with breakthrough innovations – everything from lamps, radios and televisions to medical equipment, electric shavers and semiconductors. Along the way, we've been responsible for some truly ground-breaking discoveries and standards, such as the Rotalix X-ray tube, the high-pressure mercury lamp, the triple-headed dry electric razor, the Compact Cassette, and more recent innovations like the Brilliance 40 slice CT scanner, CD, DVD, and Ambilight TV
Working at Philips Research
Whenever you work on a project at Philips Research, you work in a multi-disciplinary team. Usually the research is for a market sector of Philips, or sometimes for a corporate project.
You may also be involved in collaborative projects with many other companies - for example, in the context of a European research program.
Philips Research believes that the best way to realize potential is by challenging its researchers to learn as much as they can.
