New Cambridge research centre for Kodak
Kodak has opened a new research centre in Cambridge to consolidate
its research operations in Europe and forge increased links with
Europe’s leading university.
Primary activities at the new Kodak European Research Centre will
include developing new applications for commercial printing, software
engineering and optoelectronic flexible displays, building on its mobile
imaging technology for the consumer market and extending use of the
technology to other markets.
“Operating in such a high-tech cluster puts us at the hub of a highly
networked environment”, said Dr Sam Weller, Kodak’s European Research
Director. Cambridge is one of the highest ranked universities in Europe
with an impressive supporting infrastructure of science parks, start-up
companies and research institutes, including a world-leading teaching
hospital. Here we can participate in the scientific infrastructure and
collaborate with others in our fields of interest, while operating from
within our own focused laboratories to ensure that Kodak continues to be
a leader in the digital world.”
