Overview

In the future, people's life is expected to be changed intrinsically. The modes of behavior and action such as transportation, business practices, and lifestyle habits will be specifically released from the constraints of physical space and time, and thus transformed. In addition, human resources that have not been able to play active parts in the past will be released from restrictions, and the social diversity will be improved. In this mission area, we aim to realize a society in which merchandises and services are optimized for various users.
