Innovation

Innovation is only meaningful if it benefits everyone

For Michelin, a sustainable future and advances in technology go hand in hand.

The Group relies on its unrivalled know-how and its powerful capacity for innovation to explore the possibilities opened up by materials science and data science.

Infinite sources of innovation for a better life in motion.

Towards infinitely renewable object

Designed entirely from renewable or recycled materials, the Vision concept illustrates the unprecedented innovation challenge that Michelin has set itself: to imagine eco-designed products and services, in tires or in other domains, that meet the requirements of the Group’s environmental approach. 

Michelin life-changing composites

What do seals, belts, conveyor belts, hoses, coated fabrics, resins, medical implants, and tires have in common? They are all “composites”!

Unique innovation power

Polymer design, process engineering, expertise in high-tech materials, enhancing data value... For over 130 years, Michelin has been eagerly pursuing innovation and pushing back the limits of possibility.  

Fast-tracking innovation

No one stakeholder alone can meet the collective challenges and in particular the environmental emergency.  The Group is constantly expanding its innovation power by drawing together a wide range of public and private-sector stakeholders, and cooperating with numerous partners in a bid to develop disruptive technologies.   

Motorsport: driving innovation

Over and above the victories, motorsport is, more than ever before, a proving ground for experimentation: “We race for change”. It is essential for accelerating the development, application, and market launch of new sustainable solutions.
