Tokyo
IBM Research - Tokyo was established in 1982 as IBM’s fourth research laboratory and the organization’s first in Asia. Located in Toyko and Shin-Kawasaki, the lab led pioneering research in accessibility, microdevices, system software, embedded systems, security and privacy, and more. The lab is currently investigating new applications for foundation models and LLMs, while also leading efforts in digital health and AI-aided accessibility technologies, hybrid cloud infrastructure for AI and secure computation, quantum computing, and semiconductors.
