The Nomura-SRI Innovation Center

SRI International has collaborated with Nomura to create the Nomura-SRI Innovation Center (NSIC)

The center is solely dedicated to accelerating the adoption of Silicon Valley’s disruptive technology innovation processes into corporate Japan.

NSIC will provide Japanese companies with a funnel for hands-on, open innovation from the  Silicon Valley ecosystem. The collaboration connects Japanese corporations with Silicon Valley’s pioneering startups and R&D labs. NSIC also provides experiential education on technology trends, emerging business and financial models, innovation best practices, go-to-market strategies, and technology transfer frameworks.

SRI International has a successful 75-year track record of commercializing deep technologies by working with both Global 2000 corporations and launching over 50 ventures with a combined market cap of over $50B.
