What Verification Technology does

Verification Technology Co., Ltd. (ベリフィケーションテクノロジー株式会社), founded in April 2003 and headquartered in Yokohama, Japan, is a privately-held specialist engineering firm providing third-party LSI design and verification services, functional safety consulting, and cybersecurity consulting for semiconductor, automotive, medical-device, and industrial-equipment customers. The company operates with roughly 90 employees across offices in Yokohama (HQ), Kyoto (Kansai Branch), Makati City (Verification Technology Philippines, Inc.), and Dresden (Verification Technology Germany GmbH). Its core technology stack centers on UVM-based verification environment standardization, Verification IP (VIP) development, formal verification, real-time image processing circuit implementation, and high-speed serial interfaces (SDI, HDMI), accumulated over 21 years of practice. The firm also delivers functional safety and cybersecurity consulting aligned with ISO 26262, IEC 61508, ISO 13849, ISO/SAE 21434, IEC 62443, IEC 81001-5-1, PSA, SESIP, and EU CRA, and holds ISO 9001 certification for its headquarters operations.

The company monetizes through three principal revenue streams: (1) project-based LSI design and third-party verification services sold to major Japanese semiconductor manufacturers on individually-quoted engagements; (2) functional safety and cybersecurity consulting and implementation services billed similarly on a project basis across automotive, industrial, and medical verticals; and (3) hardware sales of the proprietary Security Adapter SA1, a zero-trust device that wraps legacy medical and industrial equipment to enable safe connectivity and remote maintenance without modifying existing networks. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales executed jointly by sales and engineering staff, supplemented by event-led demand generation (trade shows such as Manufacturing World Tokyo, Embedded World, and Japan Medical Informatics Society), CEO-led thought-leadership speaking, downloadable technical collateral, and a channel partnership with Kishiya (キシヤ) in the medical-device ecosystem.

Core offering

Verification Technology provides third-party LSI (large-scale integration) design and verification services to semiconductor manufacturers, with specialization in UVM-based verification environment standardization, Verification IP (VIP) development, formal verification, and high-speed serial interface verification (SDI, HDMI). The company also offers functional safety and cybersecurity consulting aligned with ISO 26262, IEC 61508, ISO 13849, ISO/SAE 21434, and IEC 62443, and sells its proprietary Security Adapter SA1 hardware product for securing legacy medical and industrial equipment.

Product overview

Verification Technology provides LSI design and third-party verification services as its core business, founded in 2003 on the insight that the verification phase is more critical than design in large-scale LSI development. The company's service portfolio spans three main areas: (1) LSI Design & Third-Party Verification — offering verification environment standardization (UVM), VerificationIP (VIP) development, real-time image processing circuits, and high-speed serial interfaces (SDI, HDMI); (2) Functional Safety & Cybersecurity — consulting and implementation services for ISO 26262, IEC 61508, ISO 13849, ISO/SAE 21434, IEC 62443, and related standards, including a proprietary Security Adapter (SA1) product; and (3) Medical Device Solutions — addressing cybersecurity compliance (IEC 81001-5-1, CRA) and remote maintenance for medical equipment. The company operates internationally with group companies in the Philippines and Germany.
