The theme of the 2016 G20 summit is focusing on working together with members toward an innovative, invigorated, interconnected and inclusive world economy. This is very much in alignment with ADI’s value system. As one of the leading semiconductor companies, ADI always sees technological breakthroughs and innovation as the single most important building block of its corporate DNA, ever since the company was founded in 1965 on the MIT campus. ADI’s innovation is fueled by the fact that 46 percent of our organization is comprised of engineers. In the past five years, ADI dedicated an average 19 percent of its annual revenues to R&D, totaling $2.7 billion in 2011-15. Throughout the years, working with ecosystem partners and customers has always been instrumental and beneficial to ADI in terms of both short and long-term strategies. Therefore, we believe that growth through innovation and joint development championed by the G20 Summit are the two principles, challenges as well as opportunities for any companies who want to grow with China.
