NEC is reorganizing its research and technology development efforts into three domains:
- 1) IT network integration solutions
- 2) Semiconductor solutions
- 3) Fundamental research (such as nanotechnology and environmental material technology).
NEC plans to consolidate the eight R&D facilities it currently operates across Japan into five sites. The R&D focused on IT and network technology that was to date conducted at NEC's Central Research Laboratories, Fuchu Plant, Tamagawa Plant and its head offices will be consolidated to its Tamagawa Plant by the end of this fiscal year. Simultaneously, LSI design research currently carried out at the Central Research Laboratories will be moved to the Tamagawa Plant.
