In every industry, what distinguishes a leader and a follower is the former’s ability to read the trends and deliver what customers need before any competitor. The goal of the New Business Development division of Samsung America, Inc. (SAI) is to set the trends as we create value.

We strive to set this trend through two broader areas: 1) establishing Strategic Alliances which supports our core line of business and 2) making capital investment through our Samsung America Venture Capital Company.

We make investments in start-up and mezzanine stage companies in emerging growth sectors and by leveraging the existing Samsung network and infrastructure to stimulate or grow business opportunities. Areas of investment interest include broadband, telecommunications, information technology, and new technologies.

As a corporate investor, SAI is prepared to help promising private companies build their maximum potential through strategic investment, corporate backing, joint-venture, licensing, and/or international expansion. Investment opportunities lie in: proprietary technologies, attractive business models, innovative products/services, expansive target markets, competent management teams, and attractive exit strategies. SAI has established a worldwide presence as a general trading company. SAI is active in a diverse range of industries, from textiles to high-tech equipment. SAI has built an extensive network and infrastructure in each of these industries to successfully execute new business opportunities. One of SAI's most successful endeavors has been its financial and strategic partnership with FUBU^® ("For Us By Us"), one of the world's fastest-growing apparel brands that has taken the African-American sportswear market by storm. Since 1995, when SAI first invested in FUBU^® (providing the company with production and distribution capabilities), it has grown into a major international brand, generating $400 million in revenues. SAI continually reviews the competitive position of its products and portfolio companies to further enhance and broaden an existing product line or a company's position in the marketplace.

In the coming years, New Business Development will continue its commitment to staying one step ahead of the trends to ensure that SAI will deliver first.
