Honda Innovations operates the Honda Xcelerator Ventures program, a global open-innovation and corporate-venturing initiative that connects Honda with innovators across North America, Europe, Israel, Japan and Southeast Asia. The program brings together startups and innovators at all stages to explore technology and business opportunities that support Honda's carbon-neutral future of mobility and the goal of zero fatalities involving Honda vehicles by 2050. It offers capabilities such as direct investment, strategic partnerships, co-development, and prototyping to enable collaboration. Based in Tokyo, Japan, the organization operates with a relatively small team within Honda's motor-vehicle manufacturing ecosystem. In August 2025, it announced a collaboration with Helm.ai to advance autonomous driving technologies through a multi-year joint development agreement.
