GE Aerospace Research, formerly GE Research,[1] is the research and development division of GE Aerospace.[2] Before 2024, it was a division of the General Electric Company, which split three ways between 2023 and 2024 and pivoted to aviation.[3] [4]

GE Global Research locations[5] include the Global Research Center in Niskayuna, New York, established as the General Electric Research Laboratory in Schenectady in 1900 and relocated to Niskayuna in 1955 (this site is also known as the Knolls Laboratory, to distinguish it from the original Schenectady location – it is adjacent to the Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory), and the John F. Welch Technology Centre in Bangalore, India, established in 2000.

The research center in Bangalore, India, is also expected to remain open, but those in Shanghai, Munich, Germany, and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil would be shut down. No job cuts would occur in Niskayuna either as part of the reorganization of the research program. *** The moves to close the three research centers abroad are part of a broader effort to rightsize GE's international operations, especially in areas where markets had matured to the point where the research could be better absorbed by the businesses in those countries. .
