Mitsubishi Electric has placed the realization of sustainability as a cornerstone of its management, underpinned by its fundamental principle of "addressing social challenges through our business." To this end, we will transform ourselves into a "Circular Digital-Engineering Company" that provides customers with advanced integrated solutions and collaborates to solve problems by strengthening the fusion and co-creation of knowledge from inside and outside the Group.

Technological development is essential to solving social challenges. What should we focus on and how should we find the solutions? How do we establish them as new mechanisms in society? We are responsible for creating a total scenario.

R&D's role is more important than ever. In addition, the barriers are high, big and thick. All the more reason to be excited about what we do. We have the opportunity to create our own stories for a better future.

We have developed world-class technologies and human resources across a wide range of business areas. In addition, we provide an environment in which knowledge and information can be shared across the entire organization. There are also opportunities for co-creation with industries and communities to shape major societal trends.

Surely, we will find our own unique way of solving problems and spreading them throughout society if we add the power of new knowledge to these strengths. Each of us should respect each other, think about everything from the global environment to our daily lives, and share our happiness with each other. On the way to such a future society, we will challenge the possibilities of technologies.

R&D Organization

In the Mitsubishi Electric Group's wide range of business fields, we are continuously deepening our basic technologies, while at the same time working globally to search for and create new technologies that will be the source of our next growth.
