Johnson & Johnson Innovation, the research arm of global healthcare company Johnson & Johnson, has released a report on its impact so far to mark its five year anniversary.

The first Johnson & Johnson Innovation ‘JLABS’ was opened in 2012 in San Diego, and the model, of small responsive units seeking out the latest promising innovations in their localities, has been rolled out globally since.

The company notes that its network now spans the globe with physical sites, educational programs, professional services and ‘QuickFire Challenges’.

"The goal of Johnson & Johnson Innovation is to accelerate breakthrough solutions for patients and consumers to treat, intercept and prevent disease,” ​explains Paul Stoffels, Executive Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer, Johnson & Johnson.

In terms of successes of the JLAB companies, the company says they have collectively gathered USD 9.4 billion through financings and strategic relationships.  Collectively, JLAB companies have seen five IPOs and eight acquisitions.

In short, we’re proud to play a part in fostering an environment where good ideas can grow, and perhaps, one day, change the world."
