NEC Corporation<\/a> will use Claude as it builds one of Japan\u2019s largest AI-native engineering organizations, making it available to approximately 30,000 NEC Group employees worldwide.<\/p>\n

As part of this strategic collaboration, NEC will become Anthropic\u2019s first Japan-based global partner. Together, we will develop secure, industry-specific AI products for the Japanese market, starting with tools for finance, manufacturing, and local government.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis long-term partnership with Anthropic enables NEC to maximize the potential of AI in the Japanese market,\u201d said Toshifumi Yoshizaki, Executive Officer and COO of NEC Corporation. \u201cTogether, we aim to create solutions that meet the high safety, reliability, and quality standards demanded by companies and public administration in Japan.\u201d<\/p>\n

Claude for NEC\u2019s customers<\/p>\n

NEC and Anthropic will jointly develop secure, domain-specific AI products for Japanese customers in sectors like finance, manufacturing, and cybersecurity.<\/p>\n

In addition, NEC is already integrating Claude into its Security Operations Center services to help defend customers against increasingly sophisticated cybersecurity threats. Claude will also be integrated into the next-generation cybersecurity service NEC is currently providing.<\/p>\n

Claude, including Claude Opus 4.7, and Claude Code<\/a> will be incorporated into NEC BluStellar Scenario<\/a>, a program that provides consulting, AI tools, security, and digital infrastructure to businesses, starting with its offerings for data-driven management and customer experience, and gradually expanding to others.<\/p>\n

How NEC will use Claude internally<\/p>\n

Internally, NEC will establish a Center of Excellence to develop a highly skilled, AI-enabled engineering organization, supported by technical enablement and training from Anthropic. NEC aims to build one of Japan\u2019s largest AI-native engineering teams, who will use Claude Code in their work.<\/p>\n

As part of its long-running Client Zero initiative, in which NEC serves as its own first customer before offering its technology to clients, NEC will also expand its use of Claude Cowork<\/a> across its internal business operations.<\/p>\n
