HPC Systems and R&D Support Announce Business Partnership

HPC Systems Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Teppei Ono; hereinafter "HPC Systems"), a provider of computing environments for HPC and AI, as well as system integration services for scientific computing and CAE analysis, has entered into a business partnership with R&D Support Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and CEO: Yuki Osawa; Representative Director and COO: Yasuharu Oshima; hereinafter "R&D Support"). Together, they will begin offering the 'HPC Talent Support Service' to organizations driving R&D digital transformation.

【Background and Purpose of the Partnership】

In recent years, industries such as drug discovery, materials, chemicals, and semiconductors have been increasing investments in R&D digital transformation (DX), leveraging technologies like AI, Materials Informatics (MI), and CAE analysis to enhance competitiveness and advance development. In particular, the use of High Performance Computing (HPC) to streamline R&D processes has become essential for improving research speed and development accuracy.

However, even with the deployment of high-performance computing environments, the effectiveness of their operation—how well they are applied to research themes and how analysis results are integrated into development processes—is increasingly scrutinized. The challenge of securing specialized personnel to manage these operations and building sustainable organizational structures has become a shared critical issue across industry, government, and academia.

HPC Systems has long supported R&D sites through system integration in scientific computing and HPC fields, and has frequently received requests such as "We need support not only in deploying computing environments but also in securing personnel to operate them effectively."
Meanwhile, R&D Support has a proven track record of strengthening research organizations by providing specialized talent through introduction, dispatch, and outsourcing services, primarily in the bio and life sciences sectors.

Through this partnership, the two companies will establish an integrated support framework combining "infrastructure setup" and "talent and organizational development." By combining HPC Systems’ expertise in system integration with R&D Support’s deep knowledge in talent support, they aim to powerfully advance their clients’ R&D DX initiatives as practical, on-site implementable solutions.

【Overview of the Partnership】

This service supports R&D organizations utilizing HPC, AI, CAE analysis, and MI by providing not only optimal computing environment deployment assistance but also securing specialized personnel to operate and advance these systems.

When HPC Systems provides support for computing environment setup, it will refer clients facing talent-related challenges to its partner, R&D Support. R&D Support will then offer a combination of talent dispatch, talent introduction (mid-career hiring and direct employment), and professional talent sharing services (outsourcing), tailored to the client’s needs, challenges, and project phase, to support flexible organizational building.

※ Contracts related to talent support will be made directly between the client and R&D Support Co., Ltd.

Main Support Offerings

Introduction of operational and analytical personnel for HPC and AI computing environments
In conjunction with new system deployments or expansions, we propose professionals responsible for system operation, analysis tasks, and research advancement to support smooth implementation.

Introduction of research support personnel for advanced specialized fields such as AI, MI, and CAE
We recommend talent capable of accelerating projects in domains requiring specific high-level expertise, including AI applications, Materials Informatics (MI), and CAE analysis.

Flexible organizational support combining talent dispatch, introduction, and outsourcing
We support the creation of optimal organizational structures by offering diverse schemes—including talent dispatch, talent introduction (mid-career hiring and direct employment), and professional talent sharing (outsourcing)—based on project duration and management requirements.

Integrated proposals addressing both computing infrastructure and talent challenges
We resolve challenges from both the infrastructure (computing environment) and human (specialized talent) perspectives, providing one-stop support for the on-site implementation of R&D DX.

◆ Integrated Proposal of 'Computing Environment' and 'Talent Support' to Empower R&D DX ◆

【Future Outlook】

HPC Systems and R&D Support will leverage this partnership to provide comprehensive proposals—covering both computing environments and talent support—to clients exploring R&D DX and scientific computing. They will also support the effective use of technology and specialized personnel in R&D environments, strengthen development frameworks, and contribute to clients’ pursuit of new research themes and business advancement.

【Impact on Financial Projections】

The impact of this partnership on financial forecasts is expected to be minimal.
