We take on research and development initiatives to improve manufacturing productivity and drive innovation in design and production operations, while also promoting the effective use of resources―such as materials and knowledge―to realize a circular economy and carbon neutrality. By integrating science and digital technologies, and leveraging production and manufacturing technologies centered on advanced design and manufacturing capabilities in materials, processes, and measurement, as well as mechanical, electrical, and physical engineering, we create new value across a wide range of fields that support society, including railways, power equipment, industrial machinery, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, medical analytical instruments, and home appliances.

We have a global research structure with five bases including Japan, and we promote locally led global research based on local needs and No. 1 technology in cooperation with our overseas bases in North America, Europe, China, and the Asia-Pacific region. We promote global research and development through collaboration with Hitachi's overseas research laboratories and joint research with universities, research institutions, and companies around the world. We strive to support our overseas business by making the most of the characteristics of each region to advance our research, and by understanding the needs of each market in real time and feeding them back into our research and development.
We cooperate with internal and external educational institutions to provide training to acquire necessary skills and advance careers. We also actively participate in and present at international conferences and other events to gain experience that will lay the foundation for global expansion. We also have a system in place to support employees who wish to pursue degrees or improve their language skills.
This is a place where Hitachi and customers can work together to conduct realistic and rapid prototyping, with the aim of exploring future social issues with customers and solving them through research and development. It is also used as a communication space where employees can hold internal meetings and refresh themselves.
