Science is not dry and theoretical. Its power is all around us - improving health care, advancing clean energy, and transforming the way people live, work and communicate around the globe.

In partnership with our customers, 3M uses science every day to improve lives and solve problems, whether it is our filtration technology that enables you to breathe cleaner air and drink cleaner water; our nonwoven technology that keeps your car quieter and jacket warmer; or our film technology that makes homes, offices and smartphones more efficient. Those are just three of our 46 technology platforms, and supporting each one is our people - including our 8,500 scientists, who are among the best and brightest in the world.

The combination of those two things - cutting-edge technologies in the hands of very smart people - is core to our company's strength. It is also key to solving our world's toughest problems, whether they be air pollution, food safety or clean water. And success will require a broad commitment - beyond a single company or government - to advancing both technology and talent.
