R&D center
Where breakthroughs happen
An R&D center is a facility dedicated to research and development—the work of investigating new ideas and turning them into products or processes.
Companies maintain R&D centers to develop new technologies, improve existing offerings, or explore scientific questions: The pharmaceutical giant opened an R&D center in Boston.
Also written as R and D center.
