The Mitsubishi Electric Group is committed to achieving sustainability based on our basic philosophy of "addressing social challenges through our businesses." In order to address complex and diversified challenges, we utilize various data gathered in the digital space while backcasting from the future society. The Mitsubishi Electric Group is working to transform itself into a "Circular Digital-Engineering Company" where the Group’s experts connect with each other to share their knowledge, create new value, and address social challenges with customers.

We believe that we can resolve difficult issues with our broad range of business operations and our world-class, wide-ranging technologies and human capital.

Furthermore, with the belief that integrating cutting-edge knowledge is the key to quickly creating innovative technologies, we will continue to openly promote innovation and take on challenges for improving value.

Here, we are fortunate to have many colleagues who inspire each other and an environment that enables us to engage in cutting-edge research. We also have many opportunities to implement our own ideas in society. Additionally, we are challenging ourselves to develop new technologies that have the potential to bring about game-changing innovations.

What we need now is unprecedented new perspectives and ideas, as well as the ability to integrate them. Let's grow together and create value for the future with the aim of becoming R&D centers recognized around the world.
