Background

About Hiroshi Sumimura

Innovative R&D Leader | Startup Collaboration | Global Tech Scouting I work at a technology-driven corporation, leading efforts to identify and collaborate with startups whose innovations align with our business strategy and technological roadmap. With deep expertise in optical and display technologies—including OLED polarizers, optical films, and optical communication—I bridge internal R&D capabilities with external innovation. Many of the technologies and products I have developed have been adopted in globally recognized consumer devices, giving me a strong foundation in practical, high-impact innovation. My role focuses on uncovering emerging technologies and forging partnerships that create mutual value between startups and our core business areas, which include adhesion, optical design, thin film formation, circuit patterning, separation technologies, porous structures, oligonucleotide synthesis, and drug delivery systems (DDS).
