NEXEN TIRE LAUNCHES NEXT CENTURY VENTURES IN SILICON VALLEY EXPANDING NEW, FUTURISTIC MOBILITY SPACE

 Nexen Tire America, Inc., a worldwide leader in high-performance, passenger, SUV/light truck and winter tire technology, today announced the launch of Next Century Ventures (NCV), a Silicon Valley-based initiative responsible for backing mobility startups.

The initiative will accelerate the expansion of Nexen Tire into a new and futuristic mobility space, as NVC will begin investing in companies focusing on leading innovation and the fourth industrial revolution in Silicon Valley and will also seek investment opportunities in other countries and regions, including Europe, China and South Korea. Target investments will include core mobility technologies, such as automotive sensors and Artificial Intelligence (AI), electric vehicles and self-driving technologies.

“Openness and cooperation are crucial in the era of the fourth industrial revolution, as companies cannot develop all technologies on their own,” said Travis Kang, Global CEO of Nexen Tire. “Nexen Tire is ready to make bold and forward-looking investments that will ultimately fulfill the goal of becoming a global mobility company.”

Nexen Tire’s venture capital is in line with that of global companies investing in promising startups to discover and secure new core technologies while attracting exceptional talents. Nexen Tire’s Chief Strategy Officer, Jin Mann Lee, will also double as the Managing Partner at NCV.

I am the owner of Cerebral-overload.com and the Verizon Wireless Reviewer for Techburgh.com. My love of gadgets came from his lack of a Nintendo Game Boy when he was a child . I vowed from that day on to get his hands on as many tech products as possible. My approach to a review is to make it informative for the technofile while still making it understandable to everyone. Ben is a new voice in the tech industry and is looking to make a mark wherever he goes. When not reviewing products, I is also a 911 Telecommunicator just outside of Pittsburgh PA.
