Driving Human-Centric Innovation

As the Fujitsu Group’s main research and development organization, Fujitsu Laboratories conducts R&D of leading-edge information and communication technologies (ICT). By engaging in fundamental research, applied research, and research for practical implementation over a medium- to long-term horizon, our primary role is to create new markets and new business models that will drive growth of the Fujitsu Group.

Today we are seeing the emergence of a Hyperconnected World, in which consumers, businesses, and communities, as well as information and processes, are intertwined in complex ways: computing, networking, and front-end interface technologies that are propelling the Hyperconnected World are interlinked and continue to evolve. Such ICT innovation is what will inevitably lead us to the era of the Internet of Things (IoT).

Currently, the formation of an advanced Hyperconnected Cloud is underway, which will connect everything from back-end ICT infrastructure, to front-end IoT devices: people, information, and things will be more widely connected and with greater depth than ever before, and the real world will be reflected to the cyber-world. Amid such trends, an essential key strategy for future business will be to drive and develop advancements in human-centric front-end technology domains. Given this background, Fujitsu has set out its vision of Human-Centric Innovation.

Aligned with this vision, Fujitsu Laboratories is developing core technologies supporting the Hyperconnected Cloud. Inclusive of next-generation ICT infrastructure and operations managementsoftware, by analyzing big data as an integration of media data, and through advanced knowledge processing, we are undertaking initiatives in intelligent computing, in which new intelligence is provided safely and securely. We are also engaging in R&D of mobile terminals, sensors, user interfaces, and wearable devices that connect people, data, and things, as well as high-speed, high-capacity networks that connect them. By connecting the technology value chain―from front end to

back end―Fujitsu is able to provide a multitude of new product and services, which represents the source that drives the Fujitsu Group’s competitive edge.

We have an essential role to leverage ICT in advanced and sophisticated ways to resolve societal problems―such as countermeasures for natural disasters, global environmental preservation, energy conservation, and maintaining securesocietal infrastructures―and apply ICT to domains for which business innovation is anticipated―for example healthcare/medical fields, transportation and logistics, food and agriculture, and education―to generate high value-added business.

In addition to R&D that is envisioned to be applied and brought into practical implementation within a few years, looking toward the future, I feel that the mission of Fujitsu Laboratories is also to perpetually and assertively pursue challenges in fundamental research that can inspire people and offer rich experiences previously unknown.

2015 marks Fujitsu’s 80th anniversary since it was founded. Historically looking back over the ICT field―in which business environments rapidly change―companies that have established a longstanding presence are companies that have: generated new technologies as inventions tailored for each respective era, while creating business models to leverage such technologies, to drive innovation.

Generating innovation and driving the future is not a simple matter: by collaborating with Fujitsu’s customers and partners on new approaches for the co-creation of businesses, Fujitsu Laboratories aims to contribute to the development of society and industries.

Aspiring to contribute to the fulfillment of every individual, Fujitsu Laboratories is committed to advancing ICT to enable the realization of a safe, secure, and prosperous sustainable society: a “Human Centric Intelligent Society.”
