NEC Corporation そして dotD Inc. Will establish a joint business creation platform that takes existing ideas for businesses, research and development results, operation problems, and market needs and creates new AI services quickly. From starting a new business idea, the two companies will work together to develop new services into commercial products.
The process will engage members of the two companies from an early stage of an idea. Their efforts will include research and hypothesis testing, customer validation and prototype development. The intention is to evaluate several business opportunities, determine which have a viable commercial proposition and then use the insights gained to create more services.
“The centre forms the next stage of a relationship that started in 2024 between NEC and dotD, who have been collaborating since 2024 on a development programme that enables NEC to work with a partner on the development of new services using AI. They have tested various business themes and validated some early stage assumptions.

A new approach applies these activities to a permanent infrastructure. NEC will provide its world-leading AI research, its latest technologies and extensive industry knowledge, while dotD will bring its expertise in business development, hypothesis testing, prototype and MVP development.
By combining dotD’s MORPHY MODEL with its internal Net4Auto agile methodology, the partners intend to evaluate each opportunity rapidly. During the first week, some potential projects will be put on hold and in some cases, the concept could achieve customer validation with prototypes in 1 month. Successful opportunities will be taken to market and others abandoned but preserved for future use.
NEC employees will lead while dotD members will serve as participants in NEC business operations. In this way, the two companies seek to foster new AI services and cultivate human resources capable of leading future business.
