Kobe, Kawasaki, Japan, June 3, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - DUNLOP (Company name: Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd. [1] ) and Fujitsu Limited [2] today announced that they have jointly developed a technology, an AI surrogate model, to predict tire performance with high accuracy and in a short time using AI, confirming its effectiveness in a recent proof of concept. This technology, developed as part of DUNLOP's long-term management strategy for design digital transformation, was applied to the structural analysis of tire deformation when in contact with the road surface. As a result, the analysis time was significantly reduced by approximately 90% from about 45 minutes to about 5 minutes, while achieving analysis of approximately 600,000 elements (meshes).Based on the results of this proof of concept, both companies will proceed with the development of a design support tool for tire design, aiming for its practical implementation at DUNLOP by April 2027. This will enable DUNLOP to accelerate data-driven development and swiftly supply high-quality tires with enhanced safety and environmental performance to the market.This technology is designed to run on "FUJITSU-MONAKA," [3] a next-generation Arm-based CPU developed by Fujitsu that pursues both high performance and energy efficiency. Moving forward, both companies aim to optimize inference speed, accuracy, and power efficiency by commencing verification of this technology on a prototype of FUJITSU-MONAKA by December 2026.BackgroundIn manufacturing, CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) analysis [4], which simulates the behavior of products and structures to evaluate performance and safety, requires a substantial amount of computational time due to the increasing performance and complexity of products.In tire design, FEM (Finite Element Method) analysis [5], a type of CAE analysis, is commonly used. While increasing the number of elements by refining the mesh improves accuracy, it also increases computation time and associated development costs, necessitating a balance between accuracy and computational load. Furthermore, analysis requires specialized knowledge, and securing skilled engineers is also a challenge.To address these issues, both companies developed an AI surrogate model that rapidly predicts solutions to the governing equations of FEM using accumulated FEM analysis results as training data.Proof of Concept ResultsLeveraging DUNLOP's tire design expertise and actual design data, along with Fujitsu's AI technology, both companies jointly developed an AI surrogate model based on the Graph Neural Network (GNN) [6] algorithm. They conducted a proof of concept for tire structural analysis, focusing on evaluating deformation behavior and contact characteristics such as contact shape and pressure distribution when a tire is in contact with the road surface.As a result, computation time for the analysis was reduced from approximately 45 minutes to about 5 minutes. The technology predicted the contact shape between the tire and the road surface with a high average accuracy of 87.7% compared to FEM analysis. This technology will enable faster decision-making and optimize costs, in addition to improving performance, by allowing the determination of tire structure and material specifications in fewer processes and a shorter time, which previously required multiple design processes.A part of these results will be presented at the 31st Computational Engineering Conference, held from June 3, 2026.Figure1: Proof of Concept Image Figure 2: Relationship between accuracy and computation time in FEM analysisFuture PlansBoth companies will begin verification of this AI surrogate model using a prototype of FUJITSU-MONAKA by December 2026, aiming to optimize inference speed and power efficiency. They will also expand the application range of tire structural analysis and develop a design and development support tool that can be directly used by designers without specialized knowledge. DUNLOP aims to commence practical operation by April 2027.DUNLOP aims to realize its vision of “Continuing to Provide ‘New Experiential Value’ Born from Rubber to Everyone” under the Long-term Corporate Strategy “R.I.S.E. 2035.” [7] Through this co-creation with Fujitsu, DUNLOP will further enhance its proprietary Rubber and Analytical Technology, strengthening its technological capabilities and accelerating innovation. By doing so, DUNLOP will put into practice its Purpose: “Through innovation we will create a future of joy and well-being for all.” and continue to deliver new value to society.Fujitsu will leverage this initiative to promote horizontal deployment to large-scale FEM analysis in the automotive and other manufacturing industries.

TOKYO, May 27, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701), in partnership with New York University (NYU), has evaluated the broader economic impacts of a flood protection project implemented on the Island of Manhattan in New York City. This was achieved by constructing value analysis models for five themes: transportation infrastructure, housing, mental health, and others. The findings showed that losses of up to approximately 800 million US dollars could potentially be avoided.The Rockaway Peninsula, the focus of this evaluationThis evaluation was conducted as part of the "Capstone Program" at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering, which helps to solve real-world challenges through the intersection of technology and business. NEC joined the program in September 2025 under the theme "Digital Adaptation Finance for Urban Resilience."Based on this evaluation, NEC and NYU have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to promote further studies in urban disaster prevention, resilience, and advanced technology fields, thereby deepening their initiatives aimed at resolving urban and societal vulnerabilities.In recent years, the effects of climate change have increased demand for stronger corporate activities and urban resilience to address these challenges. However, initiatives aimed at enhancing resilience, particularly projects whose benefits are difficult to quantify, often face issues such as difficulties in calculating ROI (Return on Investment), making investment decisions, and securing financing for project development.To address this, NEC is utilizing its expertise in value chain modeling and digital technologies to quantitatively demonstrate the economic impact in areas where outcomes are traditionally difficult to measure, such as disaster preparedness, preventive maintenance, sustainability, and BCP (Business Continuity Planning). This effort aims to support decision-making and facilitate financing.Background of the EvaluationFollowing the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy in 2012, which resulted in cascading economic losses across New York City, awareness of the risks posed by coastal and inland flooding to the urban economy and local communities has grown significantly. Along the Rockaway Peninsula, which was the focus of this evaluation, projects such as dune construction, shoreline reinforcement, and seawall development have been underway since 2020 under the Greater Rockaway Resilience Plan. This evaluation was conducted to demonstrate a decision-making framework and diverse funding approaches for projects that generate wide ranging benefits, but whose impacts are often difficult to quantify, by assessing the economic impacts arising from this series of initiatives.In this evaluation, a value chain diagram was created to visualize the chain of diverse benefits generated by projects implemented under the Greater Rockaway Resilience Plan. Analysis models were constructed for five of the most impactful themes. Economic impacts were calculated based on data from past hurricanes and their damages, as well as future damage projections derived from flood risk scenarios.Specifically, for themes such as protecting tourism resources by preventing beach erosion, reducing the risk of damage to transportation infrastructure and housing, and mitigating mental health impacts on residents, spatial and economic data (e.g., land use, taxation, demographics, maps) were integrated with disaster-related information (e.g., flood hazards, flood damage scenarios) and analyzed using Geographic Information Systems. By quantifying and visualizing where floods would occur, who would be affected, and the cascading impacts that would follow, it became possible to convert avoided damages, new value created, and potential losses into monetary terms. (Left) Analysis Overview: Using Geographic Information Systems and other tools to analyze information related to each theme(Right) Analysis examples by theme: Showing that 88% of public housing units are at risk of inundation without flood countermeasuresIn addition, the validity of the estimated results was verified through comparisons with past cases and existing research. Interviews were also conducted with local stakeholders and residents regarding changes before and after the flood protection project. Furthermore, input was sought from financial institutions from the perspective of project evaluation in impact finance and investment practices. Through these practical and multifaceted assessments, the effects of the project have been demonstrated.Example Analysis Result: Economic benefits of avoiding relocation or rebuilding due to inundationRoles of NEC and NYUNEC: Project design, identification of social challenges from a business perspective, and implementation support from both practical and societal perspectives.NYU Tandon School of Engineering, Center for Urban Science and Progress: Project design, provision of frameworks (Capstone Program), field expertise, networks, and technical knowledge, student guidance, risk analysis, cascading damage modeling of physical hazards and urban infrastructure, decision-making support, and compilation of results.Future OutlookBased on the MOU, both parties will explore opportunities for social implementation of the findings, including engagement with financial institutions on the potential for new financing methods enabled by the quantification of economic impacts using technologies such as satellite image analysis, AI, and remote sensing.Comments from both parties are as follows:"’Where, to whom, and how much damage cascades’ is the foundational question of CERA Lab. In this study, we spatially integrated flood hazard data and socioeconomic data spanning transportation, housing, and mental health in New York City's Rockaway Peninsula, and quantified the multifaceted benefits generated by disaster prevention investments. These benefits have historically been invisible, resulting in their omission from investment decisions. This research provides a framework to fill that gap. Visualizing these invisible benefits has the power to drive policy and funding decisions, not just academic research. Through my work on the New York City Panel on Climate Change (NPCC) I engage daily with the process by which climate change impact assessments are reflected in urban policy. This research was also designed from that perspective, and I find it highly significant that, through collaboration with NEC, we were able to demonstrate how an academic framework can expand the possibilities of real-world project evaluation and funding."Yuki Miura Assistant Professor, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Center for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP), NYU Tandon School of EngineeringChair of Climate, Energy, and Risk Analytics Lab (CERA Lab)Member of New York City Panel on Climate Change (NPCC)"The economic damages associated with climate change are, in fact, most pronounced in developed countries. While strengthening resilience is urgent, public and private sectors efforts often remain fragmented, and for individual projects, ROI is often unclear, making decision-making and fundraising difficult. This research presents a basic framework for evaluating the economic impact of projects with ambiguous effects and suggests the potential for expanding future funding methods. We are pleased to have been able to share our findings in collaboration with NYU, through a project focused on the global city of New York."Ryutaro Adachi, Executive Professional, GX Business Development Division, NEC CorporationAbout NECThe NEC Group leverages technology to create social value and promote a more sustainable world where everyone has the chance to reach their full potential.

News Highlights:Stable communications for robotic agricultural machinery supporting future farming operations were achieved within and between fields in mountainous areas by combining mobile and satellite communications.Continuous video transmission for remote operation and remote monitoring was achieved by compressing video according to available bandwidth while maintaining image quality in areas critical for vehicle operation.By leveraging the demonstrated technologies, the practicality of communications and video transmission for remote operation and monitoring of robotic agricultural machinery will be enhanced, contributing to the future realization of fully autonomous operations. Efforts will also continue toward social implementation of data-driven agriculture both in Japan and internationally, with the aim of achieving sustainable agriculture.TOKYO, Japan, May 26, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NTT, Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Akira Shimada; hereinafter “NTT”), Kubota Corporation (Headquarters: Kita-ku, Osaka; President and Representative Director, CEO: Shingo Hanada; hereinafter “Kubota”), and NTT DOCOMO, INC. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Yoshiaki Maeda; hereinafter “DOCOMO”), conducted a joint demonstration experiment (hereinafter, “the demonstration”) to stabilize communications and ensure continuous video transmission for the remote operation and remote monitoring of robotic agricultural machinery in mountainous areas. In the demonstration, optimal control was applied to video transmission required for robotic agricultural machinery operation by combining mobile and satellite communications, together with video control technology. As a result, visibility of transmitted video was maintained even under fluctuating communication conditions, demonstrating the effectiveness of the technology as a communications infrastructure supporting remote operation and monitoring of robotic agricultural machinery.This technology is scheduled to be exhibited by NTT at Tsukuba Forum 2026*1, to be held from May 27-28, 2026.BackgroundAchieving sustainable agriculture in the years ahead requires the promotion of automated farming operations to address labor shortages, as well as efficient farm management utilizing data. In Japan, the government is also advancing institutional development toward regulatory reform that would allow robotic agricultural machinery to operate on public roads under conditions ensuring safety through remote monitoring.To date, NTT and Kubota have engaged in research, development, and service creation utilizing ICT to support innovation for agricultural producers, including visualization of farm management, improved operational efficiency and automation, and the realization of high-quality agriculture.*2However, in hilly and mountainous regions, which account for approximately 40% of Japan's cultivated land area, fluctuations in mobile communication quality are likely to occur due to terrain and physical obstructions. As a result, delays and disconnections may occur in communications for robotic agricultural machinery operating within and between fields. Since unstable communications directly affect safety in the remote operation and monitoring of robotic agricultural machinery, stable transmission of required video and data remains a key challenge for practical implementation.Details of the InitiativeIn the demonstration, multipath control using multiple mobile and satellite communication links was applied according to communication conditions. This confirmed that stable communications could be maintained by supplementing mobile communication links with satellite communication links in areas such as mountainous farmland, where mobile network quality tends to deteriorate within and between fields.In addition, video control technology was applied to automatically adjust video compression according to communication conditions while prioritizing image quality in critical areas, such as the travel path and crops visible in the video feed. This enabled both stable video transmission and sufficient visibility during remote operation and monitoring.Figure 1. Future vision for communication and video control in the remote operation and monitoring of robotic agricultural machineryKey Technologies1) Technology combining mobile and satellite communication linksOptimal control combining mobile and satellite communication links was achieved through multi-link control technology based on the communication quality of each link. By enabling mobile and satellite communication links to complement each other, stable communications can be maintained even in mountainous areas.2) Video control technology that compresses video while preserving quality in critical areasBased on predicted communication bandwidth, stable video transmission was achieved by maintaining video quality in critical areas, such as the travel path of robotic agricultural machinery, while compressing video data in non-critical areas.Figure 2.

TOKYO, Japan, May 25, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NTT DOCOMO, INC. (“DOCOMO”) and NEC Corporation (“NEC”), in collaboration with NTT, Inc. (“NTT”), have developed a technology (the “Technology”) that enables multiple vehicles traveling at high speed to simultaneously maintain stable communications using high-capacity millimeter-wave (mmWave) communications in the 40 GHz band, which is expected to be leveraged in the 6G era. The Technology combines distributed MIMO*1, in which multiple antennas are distributed and deployed from a base station, with a technique that pre-compensates the transmit frequency and transmit timing of signals.In a demonstration trial conducted in March 2026 at a full-scale tunnel test facility installed at Japan's National Institute for Land and Infrastructure Management (NILIM), Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, multiple vehicles equipped with mobile terminals traveling at high speed in opposite lanes maintained stable, high throughput, achieving approximately a 1.3x improvement in average throughput compared to the conventional method. This result represents a major step toward social implementation of 6G-related technologies—including implementation in new base stations—such as autonomous driving utilizing mmWave and improved in-vehicle user experiences.Video of the demonstration:BackgroundWhen communicating in high-frequency bands such as mmWave in high-mobility environments (e.g., automobiles and trains traveling at high speed), frequent base station switching occurs, causing abrupt changes in Doppler frequency*2 and propagation delay, which degrades communication quality. DOCOMO, NEC, and NTT have been working to address this challenge, and in March 2025 successfully demonstrated*3 a technology that stabilizes communication quality for a single vehicle traveling at high speed by compensating the transmit frequency and transmit timing on the base station side.In the present demonstration, the March 2025 technology was further advanced to develop a method that suppresses communication-quality degradation for multiple mobile-terminal-equipped vehicles even under complex conditions, where multiple mobile-terminal-equipped vehicles traveling at high speed in opposite lanes communicate simultaneously.Key Features of the TechnologyUsing uplink reference signals transmitted from each mobile-terminal-equipped vehicle, the Technology pre-estimates, for each base-station antenna, the appropriate transmit frequency and transmit timing for each vehicle. It then pre-compensates each vehicle-specific signal and then combines (multiplexes) the signals for transmission. This eliminates differences in received frequency and received timing that occur during antenna switching for multiple mobile-terminal-equipped vehicles simultaneously, thereby stabilizing high-capacity mmWave communications for multiple vehicles.Figure 1. Transmit frequency and transmit timing pre-compensation technology for multiple mobile-terminal-equipped vehiclesDemonstration Trial and ResultsFrom March 26 to 27, 2026, DOCOMO, NEC, and NTT conducted a demonstration trial of the Technology at the full-scale tunnel test facility at NILIM. To emulate a high-mobility environment, three distributed antennas of a base station were installed along one side of a road at 150-meter intervals. A downlink transmission experiment was then conducted with two mobile-terminal-equipped vehicles traveling at 60 km/h in opposite lanes.Under more complex conditions than the March 2025 demonstration, the conventional method (in which only the terminal side compensates received frequency and received timing) was compared with the proposed Technology (which additionally applies per-vehicle pre-compensation on the base-station side before combining and transmitting the signals). The comparison used the combined (sum) throughput of the two mobile-terminal-equipped vehicles.To validate performance in a more complex radio propagation environment, the experiment was conducted inside a tunnel, where radio waves reflect and antenna switching occurs frequently while driving. When only the conventional method was applied, the combined throughput dropped significantly during antenna switching—from 550 Mbps to approximately 110 Mbps—and the average throughput over 30 seconds of driving was approximately 430 Mbps. In contrast, when the Technology was applied, throughput degradation during antenna switching was suppressed, maintaining a stable throughput of at least 380 Mbps, and the average throughput improved to 560 Mbps, representing an approximate 1.3x increase over the conventional method. In addition, the 5th-percentile throughput value in the cumulative distribution function (CDF) improved from 270 Mbps (conventional) to 480 Mbps (proposed), an approximate 1.8x increase.Figure 2. Demonstration trial imageFigure 3. Experimental result (1): Combined throughput comparisonbetween the conventional method and the proposed TechnologyFigure 4. Experimental result (2): CDF of combined throughput comparison between the conventional method and the proposed TechnologyFuture DevelopmentThis demonstration confirmed that high-capacity and stable communications using mmWave distributed MIMO are possible even in high-mobility environments where multiple automobiles and trains travel at high speed, representing a major step toward real-world deployment. With the success of this demonstration, the use of mmWave communications is expected in applications such as immersive services including in-vehicle XR (extended reality), real-time translation and guidance leveraging generative AI, and sensor-data coordination for cooperative autonomous driving.Going forward, DOCOMO, NEC, and NTT will conduct further trials assuming various real-world environments such as high-speed railways, conventional railways, and arterial roads, and will contribute to realizing stable high-capacity communications in the 6G era.The trial and its results will be exhibited at Wireless Japan × Wireless Technology Park (WTP) 2026*4 (May 27-29, 2026, Tokyo Big Sight, West 3 & 4 Hall; XG Mobile Promotion Forum exhibit area) and Tsukuba Forum 2026*5 (May 27-28, 2026, NTT Tsukuba R&D Center, R-1 Area; NTT Exhibits).*1 Distributed MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) :A technology in which a large number of antennas are distributed from a single base station within an area for MIMO transmission between each antenna and a mobile terminal within the area.*2 Doppler Frequency: A frequency shift that occurs when a radio transmitter is moving.

KAWASAKI, Japan, May 25, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu Limited today announced the development of a self-evolving multi-AI agent technology[1] that enables multiple AI agents to perform tasks as a team, continuously and safely learning from daily execution results, human feedback, policy revisions, and specification changes.In corporate operations, legal revisions, system changes, specification updates, and on-site rule modifications occur continuously. In business operations involving vast amounts of documents and design specifications, determining which information to reference, which judgment criteria to prioritize, and the extent of impact to confirm when responding to business needs has traditionally relied on the experience and tacit knowledge of skilled professionals. In addition, from a system perspective, continuous adjustments by experts were necessary to reflect changes in prompts, search methods, evaluation criteria, and operational rules.While conventional AI agents demonstrate high processing capabilities for given instructions, they have found it difficult to independently analyze reasons for failure and safely incorporate them into subsequent operations. Consequently, adapting AI agents to the latest business environments required experts to continuously adjust prompts, search methods, evaluation criteria, and operational rules.To address this challenge, Fujitsu has developed a technology that allows AI agents to safely learn by autonomously verifying their operational experience.This technology is a multi-AI agent technology that continuously and safely evolves by adapting to changes in business environments and incorporating business execution results, human feedback, institutional revisions, and specification changes. Its most significant feature is that while performing tasks, AI agents identify reasons for success and failure, extract actionable knowledge and operational insights, and do not simply store generated improvement proposals. This allows AI agents to take over tasks such as prompt adjustments and evaluation criteria updates, which were previously performed continuously by experts. Furthermore, by deploying AI within the customer's environment, it continuously adapts to individual rules and judgment criteria that arise during business operations, realizing a business foundation that evolves with people and the environment. Figure 1: Overview of the technologyFujitsu applied this newly developed technology to the following two areas and evaluated its accuracy:1. Automated enhancement and continuous evolution of business-specific LLMsThis technology can be applied to the entire process of building business-specific LLMs. Multi-AI agents autonomously execute and optimize a series of steps such as data selection, adjustment of learning conditions, evaluation, and improvement, which were previously handled by experts. Each AI agent generates improvement proposals based on business execution results and evaluation results, and by verifying and reflecting only the effective ones, it continuously improves model performance. This significantly reduces the need for tasks previously performed by experts, realizing a mechanism where AI autonomously continues to evolve within business operations.Figure 2: Automated enhancement and continuous improvement of business-specific LLMs by self-evolving multi-AI agent technologyFujitsu automatically enhanced "Takane" for multiple domains such as manufacturing, healthcare, finance, and public administration, and continuously improved it through operations. Through operational use, continuous improvements were implemented, resulting in a significant average accuracy improvement of 28 points compared to pre-specialization performance. In the medical field, for example, the application of this technology enables structured extraction of information tailored to specific business operations, such as extracting diagnostic names, progression stages, and treatment policies from unstructured data such as medical records and test results, in a consistent format. This not only improves the accuracy of responses but also demonstrates that multi-AI agents can automate the process of building and improving business-specific LLMs, which previously required design and adjustment based on specialized knowledge, and continuously optimize them through operations. This enables companies to build AI tailored to their own operations in a short period and continuously improve it in response to changes in operations, without heavily relying on AI specialists.Figure 3: Benchmark evaluation results before and after domain-specific optimizationFurthermore, under the OneFujitsu initiative[2], Fujitsu has been promoting the global standardization of internal IT, data, and business processes. By globally applying this technology and the multi-AI agent platform equipped with "Takane," Fujitsu is achieving autonomous business execution and accelerating management speed, thereby accelerating the transition to Data & AI-driven management.2. Application to Design Specification Search in Large-Scale Business SystemsThis technology was applied to AI agent-based document search for design specifications of Fujitsu's electronic health record system for medium-to-large hospitals and business solutions for local governments. Traditionally, identifying the scope of impact for software modifications due to legal revisions or policy changes required skilled experts with deep knowledge of regulations, business processes, and system architecture. With this technology, AI agents now learn from past search results, failure cases, and human corrections. As a result, they autonomously improve search range expansion and document extraction strategies. This reduces the effort required for designing and improving search logic and also improves accuracy. This indicates that AI agents did not merely repeat searches, but learned and applied the exploration techniques used by skilled experts, such as checking related peripheral documents during operations and not excluding seemingly irrelevant documents if they belong to the same business domain. Going forward, Fujitsu will apply these insights and technologies to its AI-Driven Software Development Platform to further enhance and streamline the overall design and development process.Future plansFujitsu plans to integrate this technology into its proprietary AI platform and offer it as a core technology to support the in-house development and autonomous operation of business-specific AI. Furthermore, as one of the advanced AI technologies within the Fujitsu Kozuchi AI platform, Fujitsu will promote its application to a wide range of areas requiring specialized knowledge and continuous improvement.Additionally, by combining insights from joint research with Associate Professor Graham Neubig and Assistant Professor Tim Dettmers from Carnegie Mellon University and Fujitsu's developed generative AI reconstruction technology, Fujitsu will advance the development of technology to operate self-evolving multi-AI agent systems with less memory and power. This aims to enable the use of AI teams that continuously learn from operations not only in cloud environments but also in highly confidential on-premises and edge environments.Fujitsu aims to realize sovereign AI that can continuously learn not only in the cloud but also in on-premises and edge environments. Furthermore, by enabling AI to learn from on-site failures, human instructions, and environmental changes in real-time, and safely apply this knowledge to subsequent tasks, Fujitsu will evolve AI into an intelligent foundation that grows with the workplace. This will solve societal challenges such as the shortage of specialized personnel, adaptation to regulatory changes, succession of tribal knowledge, and advancement of on-site operations, thereby creating a future where people and AI learn from each other to evolve entire industries.[1] Self-evolving multi-AI agent technology:A technology where multiple AI agents divide tasks, execute them, and continuously and safely improve their subsequent actions based on the results, human feedback, and environmental changes such as policy revisions and specification changes.[2] OneFujitsu initiative: An initiative to define common global standard processes (Golden Standard) across Fujitsu, unifying and optimizing operations across organizations and countries.Fujitsu’s Commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations in 2015 represent a set of common goals to be achieved worldwide by 2030.Fujitsu’s purpose - “to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation” — is a promise to contribute to the vision of a better future empowered by the SDGs.About FujitsuFujitsu’s purpose is to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation.
