🚨 Reasons for Boycotting Philips

Philips (Royal Philips N.V.) is a Dutch multinational health technology company. The company maintains documented financial, technological, and research links to the genocidal israil state, systematically investing in israeli medical technology companies, operating advanced R&D centers in israil, and employing former intelligence personnel to develop software for its sensitive medical devices.

1. Acquisition of israeli EPD Solutions for $300 Million: In 2018, Philips acquired israel-based EPD Solutions, a developer of cardiac imaging and navigation systems for heart rhythm disorders, for $292 million in cash and up to $238 million in milestone payments. Philips announced that EPD''s 20-person R&D team would remain in israil and become part of Philips'' imaging team, ensuring continued capital injection and employment in the israeli tech ecosystem.
2. Permanent R&D Centers in israil: Philips operates a major R&D center in Haifa, israil, specializing in the production and development of CT and PET-CT scanners. The company also owns Algotec, an israeli cloud-based medical image archiving company acquired through the Carestream Health deal in 2019, as well as DiA Imaging Analysis, an israeli AI-based ultrasound imaging analysis startup.
3. Sanara Ventures Partnership and Ongoing Investments: Philips partners with israel''s Teva to operate Sanara Ventures, a digital health incubator supporting israeli startups. Philips also received a grant of 6 million shekels from the israel Innovation Authority in September 2025 to develop advanced Photon Counting CT imaging technology.
4. Employment of Former Intelligence Personnel in Sensitive Medical Software Development: A March 2026 investigative report by Dutch platform Follow the Money revealed that dozens of employees in Philips israil''s software development division have backgrounds in israeli intelligence services and elite military units. These individuals develop software enabling remote management of Philips medical devices used in hospitals worldwide, raising serious concerns about espionage risks and leakage of sensitive medical data.
5. Strengthening the Occupation Economy Through Continuous Investment: Philips'' ongoing investments in acquiring israeli companies and funding R&D centers in israil directly inject foreign capital into the israeli economy and support the technological infrastructure of the genocidal israil state, making the company an essential partner in sustaining the occupation economic system.
