NEC surges on strategic partnership with U.S.-based Anthropic
NEC Corporation <6701> surged sharply. On the 23rd, the company announced it would begin a strategic partnership with U.S.-based Anthropic. NEC will become Anthropic's first global partner from Japan. Despite a broad selloff in software-related stocks in the U.S. market the previous day, buying emerged in NEC shares on expectations of revenue contributions from the collaboration.
The two companies will begin joint development of industry-specific AI solutions utilizing "Claude Cowork," a desktop AI agent. As a first step, they will promote solution development combining customer industry and business expertise for the financial, manufacturing, and municipal sectors. The partnership will also advance NEC's next-generation cybersecurity services. NEC plans to roll out Claude across its domestic and international group companies and build an AI-native engineering organization of approximately 30,000 people, the largest scale among domestic companies.
