Connecting our customers to our scientists here and around the world will help deliver real-world products, open new market segments, and increase our rate of innovation."

An additional highlight of the new Innovation Center is a dedicated space focused on DuPont's new Accelerating Hybrid-Electric Autonomous Driving initiative, an integrated market-focused approach for the automotive market; It offers a seamless experience to explore technologies and capabilities for vehicle electrification and supporting infrastructure applications.

"The pace of innovation is rapidly accelerating," said Alexa Dembek, Chief Technology and Sustainability Officer, DowDuPont Specialty Products Division.
