This recognition further validates our commitment to innovation and IP, both nurtured through strategic investment of approximately 8% of Delta’s annual revenues into R&D (9% in 2020). Our 74 R&D centers, which employ over 9,000 engineers worldwide, have accumulated a rich patent war chest in power, industrial automation and building automation technologies, as well as a growing patent portfolio in e-mobility, energy infrastructure and ICT infrastructure. These resources are pillars of our IoT-based smart green solutions for sustainable cities.”
