Innovating for better health

Over the past 135 years, we’ve learned a lot about how to innovate and adapt to evolving health needs. That knowledge and experience informs our innovation, which is motivated by the need to find solutions for everyday health challenges and life-threatening conditions. With our global reach comes a responsibility and a unique ability to leverage our deep expertise and extensive partnerships to unlock the full potential of science and technology to improve health and well-being in response to these needs. We pursue breakthroughs in science and technology in our own laboratories and through our powerful network of scientists and entrepreneurs all over the world.

Partnering externally through Johnson & Johnson

Johnson & Johnson Innovation seeks to positively impact human health through innovation. We do this by helping external entrepreneurs create healthcare solutions that improve peoples’ lives around the world. We work side by side with innovators throughout their journey, providing a robust exchange of ideas and resources to support them. We are a global network who collaborate across our two sectors: Innovative Medicine and MedTech.

In EMEA, we have created a unique infrastructure that encompasses the whole region. The Innovation Centre, based in central London, UK, acts as a gateway into Europe and the wider region, enabling innovators to access a diverse range of experts and ideas to accelerate their innovations. For us, there is no one-size-fits-all model for our collaborations.

Instead, we tailor our offering according to the individual partner's needs, whether that be providing scientific mentoring and commercialization expertise, access to laboratory space, seed investment or early-stage funding of R&D collaborations. We also help incubate companies through our JLABS @ BE in Belgium, offering them mentorship and infrastructure. Companies seeking funding can also receive investment through JJDC, which is our strategic venture capital arm.
