Creating total solutions that meet the needs of our customers, shoppers and users is at the forefront of everything we do at Kimberly-Clark. We understand that great ideas and capabilities not only come from inside our company but also from outside. Through our open innovation efforts we collaborate with external partners to increase speed to market, enhance the power of K-C's established brands, access manufacturing expertise, gain entry to differentiated technologies and create new categories in untapped markets.
Our partners include universities and research laboratories, technology startups, health care companies, manufacturers and other consumer packaged goods companies as well as external brokers who can extend our reach and tap into a broad spectrum of inventors. We work together to create a sustainable pipeline of breakthrough solutions through licensing and development agreements, technology acquisition, joint ventures, and co-distribution and co-branding arrangements.
Choosing partners that complement K-C is paramount to our success. Our Global Alliances and Technology Acquisition team is dedicated to identifying potential partners and ensuring that the process moves quickly and smoothly to create "win/win" solutions for both organizations. Our corporate venture capital fund allows K-C to acquire equity in companies that are developing technologies or competencies required to deliver on our health and hygiene vision.
Our team of innovators from around the globe work together with one goal in mind – transforming insights gained from customers, shoppers and users into new-to-the-world product solutions. If your company has an innovative technology or product that may be interesting to our business, contact our Global Alliances and Technology Acquisition team:
