About Us

NEC Laboratories America, Inc. is the US-based center for NEC Corporation’s global network of corporate research laboratories. We aspire to perform problem-driven research motivated by fundamental human needs with the intent to remove critical barriers and open new commercial markets. We seek hard problems at the forefront of knowledge with an expectation that we may fail as often as we succeed. In failure we will gain critical insights that fuel future success. In success we publish our results in top journals as active participants in the academic community. Importantly, we engage with NEC business units to use these disruptive solutions to create key differentiation in NEC products and platforms, opening new markets and providing a competitive advantage to NEC Corporation.
