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]
