Today, GE has more than 30,000 technologists located around the world in our businesses and four global research centers (located in Niskayuna, New York; Shanghai, China; Munich, Germany; and Bangalore, India). They work intensely every day to deliver leading-edge technology and products that drive GE’s growth and create a better world.
In 2008, GE invested $1.4 billion in cleaner technology research and development (R&D), drawing closer to our pledge to invest $1.5 billion on ecomagination R&D by 2010. R&D investment has reached a total of more than $4 billion since the program's inception. GE’s commitment to provide meaningful solutions through ecomagination remains on track.
