Innovation at EADS:

The world will change considerably in the coming decades, requiring new products based on emerging technologies and efficient processes. Products and processes must be tightly linked to improve competitiveness and differentiation. Research & Technology (R&T) plays a central role in EADS remaining competitive by being more innovative, better, cheaper and faster in delivering products than its competitors, in view of the fact that European companies suffer from a largely fragmented and generally lower customer funding than their US peers, for example.

In addition, EADS and its Divisions promote cutting-edge technologies and scientific excellence to contribute to global progress and to deliver solutions for the challenges posed by such societal issues as environmental protection, mobility, defence and security, and safety.

EADS aims to strengthen its position as a global leader in the aerospace and defence business and to deliver competitive, integrated solutions to its customers while targeting increased revenues and profitability. In doing so, the company strives to solidify an innovation culture, to work more globally for all its stakeholders, improve its cultural diversity and promote ethics and transparency within its organisation.

EADS Innovation Works operates a global network of corporate Research and Technology (R&T) laboratories that fosters innovation throughout the EADS Group.EADS Innovation Works – the EADS network of research facilities, scientists, engineers and partnerships – is at the forefront of research and technology.

EADS Innovation Works fosters technological excellence and business orientation through the sharing of competences and means between the four Divisions of the EADS Group (Airbus, Astrium, Cassidian and Eurocopter) and develops and maintains partnerships with world-famous schools, universities and research centres.
