industrial labs
Commercial testing centers
Industrial labs are research facilities operated by corporations rather than universities or governments.
They focus on applied science—developing products, improving manufacturing processes, and solving practical engineering problems.
Bell Labs, Xerox PARC, and pharmaceutical research divisions are classic examples.
The term distinguishes corporate research from academic or government-funded science.
