Hitachi High-Tech opens Innovation Center Eindhoven in the Netherlands to accelerate open innovation
Hitachi
High-Tech Corporation ("Hitachi High-Tech") will establish Innovation
Center Eindhoven ("the Center") at High Tech Campus Eindhoven*1 (The
Netherlands, "the High Tech Campus") in July 2026. The High Tech
Campus is a hub for advanced semiconductor - related technologies, and is one
of the largest open innovation centers in Europe, where more than 12,500
employees and over 300 companies gather to develop technologies and products.
The Center will conduct work on technology development through open innovation
with local academia and deep tech companies*2. Open innovation on the High Tech
Campus offers a one - stop environment for everything from principle validation
to value validation for developing technologies, enabling new technologies to
be brought to market and accelerating their time to market. This will create
innovative digitalized assets that combine new technologies tailored to
customer needs with advanced AI, including physical AI, and enable innovation
on a global scale with a focus on the semiconductor field through HMAX Industry.
Currently, data
traffic volume is increasing due to the rapid spread of AI, and intense capital
investment is being made into data centers and base stations. Furthermore, the
semiconductor market is expected to develop and grow in future in line with
increasing demand for semiconductor devices for automotive applications, such
as in electric vehicles and autonomous driving, amid continued implementation
of physical AI that functions in the real world. As the market continues to
grow, continuous technological innovation is essential, and as semiconductors
become smaller, more layered, and more complex, solutions need to be found to
complex challenges in order to respond to these technological innovations.
