No company can thrive without innovation. For Johnson & Johnson, this is stating the obvious. With an R&D investment of more than $14 billion in the past year, we are walking the talk. This investment has a dual benefit: patients globally gain access to the most advanced treatments and Johnson & Johnson continues to have a leading impact in healthcare markets—currently, with 30 brands or platforms that generate more than $1 billion of revenue annually, our investment in innovation continues to be a key element of our success.

Throughout the world, we also expanded our J&J Centers for Global Health Discovery that advance healthcare science, targeting pressing challenges in global health in the regions of greatest need. In 2022, we launched two Satellite Centers—one in South Africa to address the threat of AMR and one in Singapore to focus on dengue and other flaviviruses.
