About Samsung Research

Set up in 1996, Samsung Research India-Bangalore (SRI-B) is the company's largest R&D centre outside South Korea and a central innovation hub for the group. Among its startup-engagement efforts is the Samsung Mobile Advance (SMA) incubation programme, which invites tech startups to work with Samsung on inventive product ideas.

Startups selected receive up to $50,000 in grant funding, technical support, loan devices, and a six-month development runway, and once the programme ends, proof-of-concept projects are weighed for deeper partnership with Samsung Mobile. The centre also hosts deep-tech showcases spanning generative AI, responsible AI, visual AI, quantum computing, and health technology, while its core research runs across cameras, wearables, sensors, audio, and ESG-related technologies.

Early- and growth-stage tech startups in AI, computer vision, wearables, sensors, and health tech who want corporate collaboration, equity-free grant funding, and a route into Samsung's product ecosystem benefit most. It is online at research.samsung.com.
