Teams including Mitsubishi Electric researchers place among top finishers at AWS re:Invent 2025 GameDay (1st and 3rd)
From December 1-5, 2025, at AWS re:Invent 2025 in Las Vegas, USA, teams that included researchers from Mitsubishi Electric secured first and third place. This achievement was highly regarded on the global stage for the teams' ability to solve problems in environments close to real-world operations.
AWS re:Invent is one of the world's largest cloud conferences, attracting roughly 60,000 attendees. GameDay is a hands on competition in which teams respond to outages, attacks, and other incidents in real AWS environments within a time limit. High placements in GameDay are an indicator of practical strength in cloud operations.
These results objectively demonstrate our engineers' high level of practical skills in cloud operations, security design, incident response, automation, and monitoring.
