Individual researchers and departments systematically work to advance their expertise while constantly thinking about how they would like the company to be 10 years from now. We have established a 10-year plan for training and optimally deploying R&D talent in order to systematically develop personnel, while at the same time leveraging the individual qualities of each person. Not only will we develop personnel with advanced expertise, but also personnel who have a broad view of technology and R&D, who have business sense and a discerning eye, and who are familiar with technology management and can construct business models.

Researchers will share higher levels of individual expertise and their distinctive capabilities, and the laboratories of each business department and the research department of the Corporate Management Division, including related departments and individuals, will pursue research and development while closely collaborating with each other.
