Microsoft and PC maker Lenovo said Wednesday that they will build a joint research and development lab in China, marking the first time that the software maker has built such a facility with another company.
The center will focus on technologies for the China market and concentrate in two areas: mobile devices and on ways to build products on top of Microsoft's software.
"Today's announcement signifies another step in Microsoft's continuing efforts to build stronger collaborations with local partners, and foster a flourishing innovation ecosystem in China," Microsoft Chief Research and Strategy Officer Craig Mundie said in a statement.
