NEC views the following as key R&D themes for
supporting medium- and long-term growth: strength-
ening basic technologies and developing ways to
efficiently commercialize R&D achievements.
Strengthening fundamental technologies entails
reinforcing the search for technology seeds (fun-
damental technologies), which are anchored in
natural sciences such as physics, mathematics, and
chemistry. It also includes developing platform
technologies which aggregate and advance those
technology seeds. NEC is also fortifying its develop-
ment of core technologies for producing competi-
tive products. NEC is redoubling efforts in basic
technology fields, which lie at the core of its R&D
programs, with several goals in mind. By increasing
its focus on these fields, NEC aims to develop
competitive businesses in global markets and to
better fulfill the need for solutions to problems
faced by society, such as environmental degrada-
tion and security-related issues.
Dealing with fast-changing social trends while
also staying ahead of competitors by being the first
to introduce products and services that meet new
needs is also important to NEC’s business strate-
gies. To those ends, NEC strives to efficiently and
rapidly commercialize R&D achievements by effec-
tively allocating resources in a selective and
focused manner.
NEC positions R&D in growth-driving Next
Generation Networks (NGN) business-related fields
and key devices that support NGN-related busi-
nesses as important medium-term research
domains. Taking into account the characteristics of
different fields so that we can properly respond to
market trends, and differences in product develop-
ment timelines, we are conducting R&D activities
based on the following three-group organization to
ensure optimal management of our R&D activities.
n Solution Platforms Research Group:
R&D in service platforms and common platforms
that are the foundation of solutions construction
n IT/NW System Platforms Research Group:
R&D in IT/Network system platforms, hardware
packaging and equipment business, and intellectual
property core technologies that are the foundation
of semiconductor devices
n Materials and Process Research Group:
R&D in new concepts and materials for new elec-
tronic devices
