Bengaluru Chosen for Tech Talent and Innovation Ecosystem
Bengaluru, often referred to as India’s Silicon Valley, was selected for its robust ecosystem of technology talent and innovation infrastructure. The new facility will collaborate closely with Nihon Kohden’s global R&D teams in Japan and other markets, supporting the company’s mission to deliver smarter and more connected healthcare technologies worldwide.
Focus on AI and Next-Generation Medical Solutions
According to the company, the Indian subsidiary will leverage India’s expertise in software development and artificial intelligence to accelerate the creation of next-generation medical devices. The center will play a key role in developing advanced solutions for hospital information management, patient monitoring systems, and diagnostic tools.
Strategic Expansion of Global Innovation Capacity
Nihon Kohden stated that the establishment of its Indian R&D hub underscores its commitment to expanding global innovation capacity and meeting the growing demand for digital healthcare solutions. Industry experts note that the move aligns with a broader trend of Japanese medtech companies investing in India to access its deep technical talent pool and rapidly growing healthcare market.
The new center is expected to begin operations later this year, further strengthening Nihon Kohden’s global footprint in medical technology innovation and its efforts to enhance healthcare outcomes through advanced digital solutions.
