Quest Global Launches 'Neprion' to Accelerate Market Entry for AI Smart Wearables

June 15, 2026, Tokyo - Quest Global, one of the world’s largest independent engineering services companies, today announced the launch of Neprion (Next-Gen Product Realization), a framework-based product development and system validation service for AI/AR smart glasses and a broad range of AI/AR/XR smart wearables.

Neprion is designed to enable manufacturers, Tier-1 suppliers, and ecosystem partners to accelerate verification processes, prepare for market entry, and achieve production-level quality, safety, and interoperability in next-generation wearable devices.

With immersive technologies gaining traction across consumer and enterprise applications, the global AR/VR market is projected to reach $50.9 billion in revenue by 2026. In this context, Neprion is supporting customers in North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region in developing their AI/AR smart glasses. Designed for manufacturers, fashion brands, and retail companies, the platform enables development teams to confidently transition from prototype to market launch. Through a one-stop partner execution model, it resolves complex engineering challenges and ensures robust quality assurance and readiness for on-schedule market entry.

Tinku Jose, Head of Vertical Technology (Hi-Tech) at Quest Global, said: "AI-powered smart wearables are becoming mainstream. As adoption grows, engineering risks do not diminish—instead, demands for rigorous validation, interoperability, AI accuracy, functional safety, and compliance are increasing. With Neprion, Quest Global has packaged our deep product engineering expertise and validation specialization into a scalable framework. This enables customers to accelerate time-to-market while enhancing product reliability and user trust. As the AI, AR, and XR ecosystem grows more complex, companies are seeking engineering partners who can shorten time-to-market without compromising quality. Neprion ensures reliable execution across hardware, embedded software, connectivity, and AI experiences, supporting our customers’ innovation at scale while maintaining product integrity and compliance."

Neprion is designed for device development leaders, Tier-1 suppliers, quality and validation leads, and certification officers who require systematic and production-ready product and system validation for next-generation smart wearables.

This launch comes at a time when innovation in the AI/AR/XR smart wearable ecosystem is accelerating, demand for interoperability across devices and platforms is rising, and attention to production-grade AI performance, compliance, and seamless user experiences has never been higher.
