The development of AI/advances in technology, the worsening of climate change issues, and increasing geopolitical and procurement risks... These social issues are changing in greater and more-complex ways than ever before.

The Global Research & Innovative Technology center (GRIT) was established to solve these social issues through collaborative creation with customers.

As innovation in technology accelerates, the needs of the market are changing rapidly, which, in turn, demands faster and more-flexible systems for development across a wide range of industries. As an organization that operates cross-sectionally and company-wide, GRIT has established a organization in which information obtained from customers and the market can be shared, allowing for the proposal of optimal solutions to customer issues.

It promotes strategic collaborative co-creation activities with customers not only in North America and Europe but also in Asia and the Indian market, which is expected to see growth.
