The Panasonic Venture Group, a unit of global leader Panasonic, creates technology partnerships between private companies and Panasonic research and development units. Our unique organization, based in Silicon Valley, California, serves as a gateway for companies to partner with Panasonic on technology and product development. Partnerships may result in strategic alliances, co-development agreements, and other beneficial arrangements.

These relationships are forged by our skilled and knowledgeable team working in close collaboration with private companies. The PVG Team not only has a wealth of experience in business, engineering and technology, but also has access to key personnel within Panasonic worldwide. We understand Panasonic’s technology strategy and how to successfully facilitate partnerships that are win-win for all partners.

PVG has a long and established track record in building technology partnerships. Since the launch in 1998, PVG has worked with more than forty technology companies from startup to late stage.

PVG is a strategic investor. To promote tight linkages with R&D units, PVG makes venture capital investment - co-investing with venture and strategic investors - in companies that present strategic competitive advantage to Panasonic.
