Hitachi’s vision for a carbon-neutral future

To resolve the global challenge of climate change, all sectors – beyond the boundaries of nation or organization - are working together to create new value. Hitachi is also accelerating its efforts to contribute to a circular economy and help realize a carbon-neutral society.Hitachi’s mission is to contribute to society through technology; not just by providing societal infrastructure and products such as energy equipment and rail but also through what we call Social Innovation Business where digital technology is leveraged to deliver new value. Our approach is to work closely with the stakeholders in the ecosystem to drive innovation and co-create solutions that will raise QoL (quality-of-life). The presentation will share what we hope to achieve through Social Innovation Business using "green solutions" in energy systems and transportation focusing on carbon neutrality, as well as R&D activity in electrification and power electronics as examples, and the important role that we believe an industry-academia-government-ecosystem has in driving this innovation.
