Hitoshi Matsumoto, Takeshi Yamamura, Fumihiro Maruyama · Fujitsu Scientific and Technical Journal · 2010
Fujitsu Laboratories has established three laboratories in the USA, China, and Europe and has been building a global R&D system. Each overseas laboratory is developing technologies utilizing the region’s characteristics and working with local universities and research institutes. The activities that have taken root in the region were promoted in order to start up R&D functions at the initial establishment. Since 2005, R&D management has been shifted to focus on outputs more strongly in harmony with all laboratories worldwide and on open innovation. Overseas laboratories have established deep relationships with the local communities and benefit from the outstanding environments and talents in those regions. They are carrying out R&D and business incubations and producing remarkable outputs.
