With Moore’s Law reaching its limits, unsustainable energy consumption, privacy concerns on a global scale, and the skyrocketing costs of medical care for aging populations, NTT Research arises at the right time in the right place.
But amid so many challenges, invention is necessary — and non-linear thinking is the beating heart of our enterprise.
Indeed, it’s among the reasons we launch our efforts in Silicon Valley, this crucible of global competition. Here, we gather the most brilliant and highly motivated scientists, employ the most sophisticated research modalities, and partner with the world’s most highly respected research institutions.
The word is out, and expectations for NTT Research are high. But without question, we are on the right track. We will upgrade reality in game-changing ways that improve lives and brighten our global future.

President and CEO, NTT Research, Inc.
What is Basic Research?
Research is the first half of the R&D story, while “development” is the applied side, or something closer to a product or service to be scaled. Yet it’s the research, and in this case, basic research, that begins the journey with singularly brilliant ideas. Those aha moments that go from inventions to innovations that change, well, everything. When they happen, they Upgrade Reality for us all.
NTT Research is on a mission to upgrade reality in game-changing ways that improves lives and brightens our global future. Watch the videos below.
