The network of scientists

A potential of some 1,000 scientists of 30 nationalities within the Group are combining their talents to develop the innovations of the future. Together, they devise cutting-edge solutions in the fields of healthcare and the environment and in those of information technologies and communication. Every day, they help to accelerate the Group's growth and optimize its industrial practices, but also to design the outlines of tomorrow’s world.

Pride of place for innovation

Air Liquide submits around 250 patents a year. Some of these patented innovations significantly contribute to the Group development. Every year, Air Liquide rewards inventors who have successfully commercialized patents.

In 2009, Air Liquide also organized Vision’air, to bring together innovators from numerous Group entities. This event, conducive to exchanges between people from different backgrounds and cultures, enables them to enrich their vision of innovation and put forward new ideas that will make the Group of tomorrow.
