Valuable Use Cases and Lessons Learned from tackling societal challenges

We Japan aim to address global and societal challenges by making full use of ICT and would like to contribute to achieve SDGs.

This session will introduce our valuable practical cases and important insights for sustainable development to as many participants as possible.

 

The Power of ICT, Fujitsu’s approaches to a Sustainable Future / FUJITSU

Fujitsu aims to contribute to a sustainable society through ICT. We’ll introduce our vision and specific case. These cases will include disaster prevention, smart mobility and manufacturing.

 

Activities for sustainable optical network construction / FURUKAWA ELECTRIC

High quality products and well trained operations can reduce the operation cost. These items are necessary for establishment of sustainable infrastructure.

We will introduce our activities that help other countries to build reliable optical fiber networks rapidly by using Japanese technology.

 

“Healthcare Management” with AI technologies and Big data processing / Hitachi

This presentation will introduce the idea of “Data health in Japan”. Then Hitachi’s experiences will be introduced, including;

- Healthcare Data Analytics using AI technologies

- “Harasuma Diet” system introduced into Hitachi for the health of employees

- Improvement of mental aspects on productivities with “Happiness sensor”

 

Mitsubishi Electric's ICT strategy for Achieving SDGs / Mitsubishi Electric

Mitsubishi Electric is committed to contributing to the realization of a low-carbon society, which is one of the most important SDGs, through our total energy-saving solutions. The presentation will introduce ICT technologies enabling the total energy-saving solutions.

 

ICT solutions for Sustainable Development Goals / NEC

This presentation introduces NEC’s ICT solutions which contribute to sustainable development goals. Our bio metric technologies for face and finger print recognition have very high accuracy, high recognition speed and high scalability. These solutions can be adapted to large scale public service such as national ID system and support a safe and secure society.

 

Creating new industries by sharing ICT solutions data in collaboration with developing countries / NTT

We had many pilot projects for each industrial (education, healthcare, environment, aquaculture and agriculture etc.) solution in rural areas supported by APT. We would like to introduce our challenge to create a new industry by sharing each of the ICT solution data in collaboration with developing countries.

The session will provide value updates and useful tips linked to above Action Lines.

 FUJITSU: C6, C7, C11: Introducing ICT’s potential to solve social issues with our case. Especially for preventing disaster, mobility, manufacturing and healthcare.

FURUKAWA: C2: Our activities help to build reliable optical fiber networks rapidly, also to transfer our technologies through practice training of operation procedure and construction of model networks in some countries.

Hitachi: C7: Healthcare management is an urgent key issue for aging societies/countries like Japan. AI technologies and big data processing enable us to attain periodical health checkups and periodical follow-ups which are necessary for keeping one’s healthy condition and Quality of Life. The e-business to provide such an information system platform with a database that records one’s life conditions will be required and fully accepted to make a good PDCA cycle of the health management.

Mitsubishi Electric: C2, C3, C5, C6: Our wired and wireless communication technologies enable nation-wide, energy-efficient infrastructures for IoT era, such as Auto-metering system and broadband Internet access for high-speed railway systems.

NEC: C2, 3, 5, 7: Identification solutions are used to access control to data and directly contribute to build confidence and security of the ICT system.
