Hewlett Packard Labs is the exploratory and advanced research group for Hewlett Packard Enterprise and its businesses. It was formed in November, 2015 when HP Labs spun off Hewlett Packard Labs to reflect the spin off of Hewlett Packard Enterprise from HP Inc. (formerly Hewlett-Packard). The lab is located in Palo Alto, California.[1]

History[]

HP Labs was established on March 3, 1966, by founders Bill Hewlett and David Packard, seeking to create an organization not bound by day-to-day business concerns.[2] In August 2007, HP executives drastically diminished the number of projects, down from 150 to 30. On November 1, 2015, HP Labs spun off Hewlett Packard Labs into a separate organization managed by Hewlett Packard Enterprise with Martin Fink becoming the director.[3]
