SRI International was founded in 1946 and is a client of the Commercial Service in San Jose, California. SRI does research and development work for private sector and government entities. 

SRI recently used the U.S. Commercial Services Gold Key program and a Single Company Promotion program in Japan. SRI's Executive Director for Corporate and International Business Development, Robert Pearlstein was happy to report that as a result of the Single Company Promotion program, SRI developed a number of new commercial opportunities with important large Japanese firms and in particular with a large Japanese government agency. SRI was so pleased with the results of the Single Company Promotion they decided to pursue additional programs including one in Santiago, Chile.   

Mr. Pearlstein describes Commercial Service programs as "great vehicles to obtain new visibility" and contacts overseas. He further stated that "exporting is critical for the success of SRI and international business allows SRI to be both more innovated and competitive". Mr. Pearlstein highly recommends U.S. Commercial Service programs to other U.S. businesses.
