GE Global Research Center - The Capital
District is proud to be the home of the GE Global Research Center
in Schenectady. In 2000, GE Global Research celebrated the 100th
anniversary of the founding of the GE Research Laboratory in
Schenectady. This was the first industrial laboratory devoted to basic
research in the United States. Many important inventions were made at
the laboratory, and this innovative work continues today at GE's Research Center
in Schenectady. Additional information about GE inventions over the
past 100 years can be found at www.ge.com/research.
