Magneti Marelli Electronic Systems has a specific Department dedicated to Research and Innovation.
Indeed, it is essential for the company's growth to develop strategies for the innovation of products/systems.
This is achieved identifying the axes of product / technologies innovation even outside or transversal to existing Product Lines or, in cooperation with the Product Lines, defining the product innovation roadmaps in sync with the market trend and with emerging technologies, pursuing the distinctiveness of its products and systems. It is just as important to establish collaborations with universities and research centres world-wide, identifying and selecting excellence centres for each area.
Such collaboration is expressed both by using highly qualified skills on specific topics, and by offering students or young researchers the opportunity to do stages.
The Research and Innovation activity is partially funded by national or European research projects and by Customers, while a relevant amount is self-financed.
