HP Labs (or HP Laboratories) is the exploratory and advanced research group for Hewlett-Packard. The lab has some 600 researchers in seven locations throughout the world.[1]
HP Labs was established in 1966 by HP founders Bill Hewlett and David Packard to create an organization focused on the future and not bound by day-to-day business concerns. In 2006, the lab celebrated its 40th anniversary.[1]
