General Electric had a huge impact on Schenectady.

From Thomas Edison’s first incandescent light bulb to the latest jet engine brimming with 3D-printed parts, GE has pioneered technologies that have spurred world-transforming changes and improved the lives of billions.

GE also transformed Schenectady from just another city into a globally famous hub, which at its peak, employed 30,000 workers in Schenectady alone.
