And we are keenly focused on maximizing this influence by fully capitalizing on the broad range of opportunities offered to us by today’s digital economy. Global R&D is an ambidextrous organization, serving simultaneously our business of today and building the foundation for the business of tomorrow. Broad diversity, a can-do mindset and global reach are the key strengths of our organization. “Innovation goes far beyond the work of our Global R&D teams.” - Greg Ludkovsky, vice president, ArcelorMittal Global R&D “Innovation goes far beyond the work of our Global R&D teams.
