What motivates the scientists at 3M? A keen desire to solve human problems, both big and small.

Driven by collaboration across disciplines, 3M scientists and employees are committed to a common purpose: helping improve the lives of others through impactful innovations.


Scientists at 3M don’t just innovate for innovation’s sake. Instead, they go beyond – to truly listen, observe and understand another’s perspective in ways that lead to meaningful solutions.
