Prepare for Upgrade 2026, where NTT Research 2.0 takes center stage—an evolution of our commitment to push the boundaries of science and technology that includes our new Technology Development & Incubation Hub (TDI), which translates scientific discoveries and innovative concepts into real-world products and systems.

Over the past half-decade, we made myriad breakthroughs that are now poised to become practical, potentially life-changing applications. Who knows what Upgrade has in store for you? You may have a moment like the one Steve Jobs experienced when he saw the first GUI interface at Xerox PARC—a spark that changed computing forever.

You’ll also experience panel discussions featuring prominent thought leaders, visionaries, innovators, and developers from the worlds of science, technology, and business. As a company and a society, we firmly believe true progress occurs when ideas are shared across disciplines.

Finally, Upgrade 2026 marks the return of the event to the heart of innovation: Silicon Valley. Explore emerging technologies from NTT’s global divisions at our EXPO—at your own pace and on your own terms. Perhaps all they need to make the journey from research to reality…is you.
