The MIT Media Lab is pleased to welcome NEC as a new Member

NEC’s work is grounded in a compelling idea: that technology should create social value. That commitment aligns closely with the Media Lab’s mission to imagine, design, and invent futures in which more people can flourish—not just through technical advancement, but through thoughtful, human-centered innovation.

From NEC’s emphasis on safety, security, fairness, and efficiency to its broader goal of helping build a brighter world, there is meaningful overlap with the Lab’s interdisciplinary approach to research and real-world impact. We also see strong connection in NEC’s interest in how AI may help transform the structures of society and the ways people live and work, as well as in its ambition to pioneer new markets in areas only NEC can address.

We’re glad to welcome NEC into this community of researchers, students, and member companies, and we look forward to the ideas and collaborations that may emerge from that connection.
