Recherche

Thales annually invests around 20% of consolidated revenues in R&D, including a significant part dedicated to fundamental research and advanced studies, which are the primary source of technological innovation today.

An open research policy: Thales at the heart of new innovation ecosystems
Thales operates a policy of research and technology partnerships with the local industrial and scientific ecosystem in each country where it has major operations.
As well as prestigious research institutes and universities, this knowledge network also includes Thales' technology providers and customers, particularly in North America, Australia, Singapore, South Korea, France, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.
In practice, it translates into a wide range of public-private cooperative research initiatives, such as the Mobile Virtual Center of Excellence programme in the UK, the competitiveness clusters ("pôles de compétitivité") supported by the French authorities and various European technology platforms (ACARE, ARTEMIS, ENIAC,NESSI, etc.).
