What are the Innovation Laboratories?

Innovation Laboratories

We explore the uniqueness of each individual and aim to create a society that expands their unlimited potential.

MESSAGE/Message from the Director

The technology of the future starts from an understanding of people.

The Innovation Laboratories is an experimental apparatus within NEC Solution Innovators. We engage daily with the question "what is a human being?" beyond technology, striving to create a future where each individual can thrive. Health, work styles, well-being, community, and environment. Whatever issues we delve into, they always involve "human emotions," "behavior," and "relationships."

When a technology is implemented in society, what impact will it have on people? What value will that technology hold and for whom?

For this reason, we continue to focus on human understanding by integrating knowledge from different fields such as psychology, behavioral science, life science, and technology. Despite being an IT company, we look deeply at people to advance technology research and business development that expand the potential of humanity.

Doing what we can for a "future with no right answers." We believe that this involves forming hypotheses and repeatedly experimenting together with our colleagues.

Won't you join us in tackling challenges and creating the future together? Feel the excitement!
