Creating Changes
in Society
Taking a wide-range view of the future of society, the economy,
and technology, from a global standpoint.
The world continues to change every day as globalization progresses and the knowledge society reaches new thresholds. Discerning the trends of the age by using reliable analytic methods, we take a wide-range view of the future of Japan, and the world. To overcome the various problematic issues and actualize a truly wealthy society, we will continue to provide valuable recommendations and disseminate information.
Economic and Industrial Forecast
We foresee economic trends from a global standpoint and from an industrial standpoint.
- We develop an overview of the course of economic globalization from multilateral viewpoints to predict the future of the Japanese and global economy.
- We constantly take note of trends not only in the two major economic blocs of the US and the EU but also in emerging economies that are in the spotlight, such as China, India, and Russia. We do not just make numerical predictions, but rather do an accurate analysis and make recommendations after studying at great length the peripheral factors revolving around the economy, such as each country's business environment, rules related to the international competition, policy trends that impact heavily on business schemes, and trade policies.
- Working in collaboration with the Hitachi Group's technology research institutes, we examine the impact of technological innovation on economic growth and the industrial structure henceforth. Our forecasts are made by using the abundant range of technological information and knowledge to which we have access as a member of the Hitachi Group.
Technology Trend Forecast
We catch the forefront quicker. We probe the possibilities of future technology trends and their practical applications.
- With our base of a broad range of technological assets and human assets within the Hitachi Group, we are always aware of the trends in advanced technology. We forecast medium- to long-term trends in science and technology.
- We observe the utilization of results of technological developments and forecast “when and what type of technology will be utilized and what may be realized from it.”
Policy Recommendations
We propose timely, valuable recommendations to boost the “quality of life.”
- From the position of a private enterprise, we recommend original solutions to problematic issues facing Japan and the world.
- We utilize the results of technological innovations in society as fast as possible to bring about improvements in people’s quality of life. We have continued to offer recommendations, with consideration for the policies and systems necessary for implementing them. Our original recommendations in fields such as e-Government, urban renewal, and financial settlement systems, etc., have already reaped high praise.
