Dow Innovation

For well over a century, Dow has been in the business of change – rearranging atoms and reshaping molecules to create new materials and new technologies. All along, innovation has served as the cornerstone of our success. Inspired by the Human Element, Dow scientists strive to improve those things essential to human progress.

Today, Research & Development at Dow is accelerating when the world needs it most. In the last decade, our innovation pipeline has doubled to over 400 projects. Since 2005, annual patent disclosures have more than tripled. We’re entrenching ourselves in the global economy, with new R&D facilities in the world’s most strategic markets.

We’re harnessing the power of chemistry to make the world safer, cleaner, and greener for generations to come. We focus on developing products and solutions that make sustainable improvements in the world, significantly helping to solve challenges such as alternative energy, affordable and adequate food supply, decent housing, clean water, and improved personal health and safety.

By consistently investing in world-class resources, geographies, and people, our innovation engine sets the stage for delivering long-term value to our stockholders while maintaining high standards of social, ethical, and environmental performance.
