At the heart of our community are approximately 9,000 scientists and engineers working in more than 150 facilities worldwide creating science based solutions for global challenges in food, energy and protection. Since our founding in 1802, DuPont has pioneered the development and application of science to become the world’s most dynamic science company. DuPont scientists and engineers have always provided the knowledge and ingenuity to create new solutions and make existing solutions work better. Today more than ever before, the world needs scientists and engineers to invent and develop new ways to feed, protect, and energize a rapidly growing population. The DuPont culture is a catalyst for innovation, from crop protection to renewable energy to helping make vehicles lighter or protective equipment stronger. Collaborations and partnerships strengthen our ability to innovate as we work towards a common purpose: to apply our science to solving the world’s greatest challenges.
