NEC Laboratories Europe GmbH

We orchestrate our research agenda with NEC's global research organizations in Japan, China, Singapore, India and the United States, as well as with NEC's business units in Japan. We transfer technology to business units as well as to global subsidiaries like the 200+ affiliates of NEC. We also have a framework for the creation of spin-offs to exploit technologies outside of NEC’s core business.

A defining attribute of NEC Laboratories Europe is our inclination towards open innovation. We collaborate with universities, research institutes, other corporate research centers and potential users in a co-creation mode, leading to breakthrough innovation combined with market-orientation.

We are based in the heart of Heidelberg, one of the most beautiful cities and the oldest university city in Germany.

In 2018, Heidelberg ranked as second-best city in Germany for quality of living according to safety, health care, nature and free-time activities.
