At Johnson & Johnson, we are committed to conducting our business with integrity and to continually earning the trust of the people we serve. These business practices help us to innovate responsibly, which in turn forms the foundation of our positive contribution to an equitable and inclusive society.

Innovation is the foundation of our positive contribution to an equitable and inclusive society

Investment in innovation is therefore critical to the sustainability of our business and long-term success. In addition to our vast internal scope of research and development (R&D) expertise, we invest in dedicated innovation centres, incubation for startups, strategic venture capital and business development.

Research & Development

expand

Through the vast scope of R&D expertise across our business, we are innovating to transform healthcare. For example, at our Messovico site in Switzerland, operating surgeons can now provide individual patient scans that enable us to produce patient-specific skull, face and jaw implants in less than two days.

We apply data science and leverage digital healthcare across nearly our entire R&D portfolio – from discovery to development – to enhance and accelerate our innovation and drive impact for patients. We rely on the transformative power of scientific knowledge, data science, digital capabilities, emerging technologies and extensive collaboration to uncover innovative solutions across the full spectrum of healthcare.
