Frans van Houten, Chief Executive Officer of Royal Philips Electronics, will today reinforce innovation as an important driver for profitable growth. In his speech at the start of the Philips Innovation Experience in Eindhoven, Mr. Van Houten will demonstrate how the company has improved people’s lives since Philips was founded in Eindhoven in 1891.

“Innovation is our lifeblood,” Mr. Van Houten will emphasize in his speech. “Going forward we will increase our investments in bringing meaningful innovation to improve people’s lives. In our 120-year history, Philips’ portfolio has changed profoundly, but innovation has always remained and will remain the cornerstone of our strategy, regardless of the economic situation. Philips has the right portfolio to address key societal issues, such as aging populations, improving the livability of our cities, promoting healthy lifestyles and a more sustainable world. Our innovations will enhance the competitiveness of our business customers and will attract consumers to enjoy a better life. Benefiting from these trends will allow us to grow profitably, both in mature and emerging markets.”
