Join the simplicity movement
At Philips, we believe technology should be advanced but simple at the same time. It should make sense and be designed around the way we live and work. Whether it’s our 3D Ultrasound technology that gives parents the first glimpse of their unborn child, or recreating the thrill of a live concert on one of our audio systems, we touch people’s lives all over the world. Imagine how that feels.
Healthcare, Lighting and Consumer Lifestyle.
In a world in which technology increasingly touches every aspect of daily life, we want to bring Sense and Simplicity to consumers and professionals with advanced, easy to use products that are designed specifically to meet their needs, wherever in the world they may be. We have 123.800 colleagues in more than 60 countries. We are proud to be a market leader in medical diagnostic imaging and patient monitoring systems, energy efficient lighting solutions, personal care and home appliances, as well as consumer electronics.

Businesses and Divisions
These areas are the focus for all our businesses: Healthcare, Consumer Lifestyle and Lighting. They are backed up, in turn, by Design, by Research, and by all our supporting departments. Together, we all act as one company.
Healthcare
Philips Healthcare is one of the world’s top three medical device companies. Our mission is to improve the quality of people’s lives.
Our focus areas include imaging systems, customer services, information and monitoring systems. We enjoy a number one position in several of these including X-ray, cardiovascular ultrasound, patient monitoring and automatic external defibrillators. Our HeartStart Home Defibrillator brings life-saving technology to consumers in their own homes, where the majority of sudden cardiac arrests occur. It’s just one of the many ways we deliver ‘advanced’ technology that is ‘designed around you’ and ‘easy to experience’.

Lighting
For Philips, improving lives with light goes back to our founding fathers in 1891. At Philips Lighting, we carry this tradition forward, across all three domains: Healthcare, Lifestyle and Technology.
Through a huge array of products, and variety in design, intensity, color and effects, we help make life easier and more efficient. From lighting for interiors and offices to Olympic Stadiums and the Eiffel Tower, we beautify people’s homes and public spaces and enhance safety and a sense of well-being.
Light can provide heat, purify water, treat disease, increase road safety – even play a role in semiconductor manufacturing – and we’re active in them all.
Design
Philips Design’s 450 professionals share one mission: to create a harmonious relationship between people, objects and the environment, both natural and man-made. Our visionary approach – enriching design with human sciences, user research and a constant, clear people focus – allows us to shape technology in a way that answers people’s existing and latent needs.
We help make Philips’ brand promise tangible through solutions that fit naturally into the context of people’s lives in meaningful ways. And in line with this, we play a leading role in many international consortia and public research programs in the fields of Healthcare, Lifestyle and Technology.
Research
Philips Research is the source of many advanced developments in Healthcare, Lifestyle and Technology. Building on 90 years’ experience in industrial research and our world-leading patent position, we’re dedicated to meaningful innovations.
In the healthcare domain, we are enhancing imaging and monitoring systems, as well as exploring innovative personal healthcare. In lifestyle, we’re helping people see, hear, remember and share content, anywhere and anytime. Our vision focuses on simplicity, making technology an integral – but invisible – part of everyday life.
Enabling all this, we investigate fundamental technologies in IC design, solid-state lighting, network and storage technologies, identification and security standards, displays and power management.
