Monsanto Founded in 1901 by John Francis Queeny, by the 1940s Monsanto was a major producer of plastics, including polystyrene and synthetic fibers. Notable achievements by Monsanto and its scientists as a chemical company included breakthrough research on catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation and being the first company to mass-produce light emitting diodes (LEDs). The company also formerly manufactured controversial products such as the insecticide DDT, PCBs, Agent Orange, and recombinant bovine somatotropin (a.k.a. bovine growth hormone). Monsanto was among the first to genetically modify a plant cell, along with three academic teams, which was announced in 1983,[9] and was among the first to conduct field trials of genetically modified crops, which it did in 1987. It remained one of the top 10 U.S. chemical companies until it divested most of its chemical businesses between 1997 and 2002, through a process of mergers and spin-offs that focused the company on biotechnology.

History Early years Google began in January 1996 as a research project by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were both PhD students at Stanford University in California.[21][22][23] The project initially involved an unofficial "third founder", Scott Hassan, the original lead programmer who wrote much of the code for the original Google Search engine, but he left before Google was officially founded as a company;[24][25] Hassan went on to pursue a career in robotics and founded the company Willow Garage in 2006.[26][27] Growth Europe
Google trots op Nederlanse belastingroute Redactie Follow the Money Google is “trots” op de belastingontwijking van het bedrijf via Nederland. Dat heet “kapitalisme”, zegt ceo Eric Schmidt. Google heeft lak aan de toenemende maatschappelijke verontwaardiging over belastingontwijking. Topman Eric Schmidt gaat vol in de aanval en zegt trots te zijn op de twee miljard dollar die hij jaarlijks bespaart door de omzet van buitenlandse dochters via Bermuda en Nederland te laten lopen – de Dutch Sandwich gedoopt. Het ging vorig jaar om bijna 10 miljard dollar aan niet-Amerikaanse omzet. Dankzij de truc halveert Google zijn totale belastingaanslag. Hiermee kiest Schmidt voor een heel ander geluid dan de Amerikaanse koffieketen Starbucks, dat vooral in Groot-Britannië onder vuur ligt. Ook in Nederland stijgt de oppositie tegen het belastingparadijs, dat multinationals zo veel geld oplevert. Lees hier meer over de Nederlandse belastingroute van voormalig presidentskandidaat Mitt Romney.
