Smarter steels start here
Global Research and Development (R&D) is the heartbeat of innovation at ArcelorMittal.
ArcelorMittal's dedicated R&D teams work both independently and collaboratively with our businesses and customers, exploring the latest technological advances to improve the steels we create, the processes we use and the impacts we make.
Each year, ArcelorMittal invests close to $300m in Global R&D, launch around 50 new products and solutions, and protect more than 100 new inventions — powering progress for our company, our customers and our industry.

At ArcelorMittal, we believe the only way to bring sustainability into our future is by constantly reinventing ourselves.
Our strength lies in our diversity, proactive mindset, and global reach. Global R&D supports our business today while building the foundation for tomorrow. This broad diversity, can-do attitude, and worldwide presence are the key strengths of our organization.

Global scale. Local skills.
ArcelorMittal employs more than 1,650 researchers across nine countries. Its 14 research centers and four R&D units are strategically placed in Europe, North, South America and Asia, close to customer sites and embedded in key operations. R&D coordinates globally and collaborates locally – a big advantage in this competitive market.
ArcelorMittal is redefining steel for the modern world and a safer, smarter and more sustainable future.
As the company continually adapts to new business goals, customer needs and emerging market trends, Global R&D teams work relentlessly to envision, test, improve and deploy the innovations that make it possible.
As the world shifts gears towards electric mobility, Multi-Part Integration® (MPI) combines our advanced steels and unique laser welding technology to radically simplify vehicle assembly.
With circular economy principles core to our ambitions, our mining research team is giving previously wasted by-products a new lease of life in cement, ceramics, fertilizers and even solar panels.
We are pioneering AI to slash product development timelines from up to five years to less than one — and analyze patents 10-times faster as the company extends its advantage through intellectual property.
