Proactive and customer-focused
Research & Development at DSM forms an integral part of the company's overall business process. Our R&D is above all proactive and customer-focused. We believe we can only truly serve our customers if we fundamentally understand the environments and markets they work in and the challenges they face.
Dynamic dual process
This makes R&D at DSM a dynamic, dual process – on the one hand, we absorb developments in the world around us and translate them into profitable business, while on the other hand, we innovate by building on our extensive existing expertise and knowledge. We’re able to do this thanks to the unique culture we carefully cultivate: an environment in which great ideas flourish and are rewarded, calculated risks are permissible, and people are driven by a passion for real innovation based on commitment and collaboration.
Breakthroughs
Today, the world is poised on the brink of vital discoveries in fields DSM already operates in – fields as varied as genomics, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and biomaterials – that have the power to radically improve people’s quality of life.
Real breakthroughs in such areas will only be achieved by those able to see beyond the boundaries of their own expertise, discipline or group. As exciting new markets and disciplines emerge, we’re focusing on bringing together the very best thinking from all our stakeholders in society, industry and academia, allowing us to develop new competences and technological solutions that make the impossible possible, while providing a sustainable and commercial advantage for our customers.
