From adding intelligence and automation to documents to breaking new frontiers in clean tech and biomedical domains, Xerox Corporation and its global innovation partners today lifted the curtain on a diverse set of innovative projects being nurtured in laboratories around the world.

“Our mission is to deliver innovations that solve the problems our customers face today while creating visionary technologies for tomorrow and beyond,” said Sophie Vandebroek, Xerox chief technology officer and president of the Xerox Innovation Group. “Technology touches our lives in major ways and is core to sustainable global growth. Scientists and engineers at Xerox are inspired by the significant impact their work will continue to have on our customers and our company and on society.”

The 2008 “Inside Innovation at Xerox” held here at the Palo Alto Research Center featured scientists from research centers in New York, Toronto, France, Palo Alto and Oregon as well as from partner labs in Tokyo at Fuji Xerox Co. Ltd., and in Israel from XMPie, a Xerox software company. They showcased 10 new technologies including:

Clean Tech. PARC scientists have designed better solar collectors and an innovative water filtration system as part of a comprehensive portfolio of clean tech projects that could be as revolutionary for the environment as PARC’s technologies were for the workplace.

Biomedical/Rare Cell Detection. PARC is exploring innovations in biology and healthcare, including detection of rare cancer cells and molecular characterization of them to predict effective therapies.
