About Socionext
Socionext is a system on a chip (SoC) company formed in March 2015 from former system LSI businesses of Fujitsu and Panasonic. It has about 2,500 employees worldwide and is headquartered in Yokohama, Japan. It was privately held by the Development Bank of Japan (DBJ) (40%), Fujitsu (40%), and Panasonic (20%). After its founding, Socionext lost some of its top engineers to Acacia Communications in August 2016.
