9/9 New Initiatives: Sustainability

The final slide introduces four specific examples in line with the SDGs. The top left picture is a mobile CT scanner we are preparing to sell. We hope that this will lead to the promotion of health for the elderly, who are difficult to walk. This flatbed CT scanner is used for women's breast cancer examinations. Unlike conventional mammography, it is painless, so I think that the number of examinations will increase, leading to a rise in early detections of cancer. The photo on top right shows an interface called “Ontenna”, developed by FEI, to feel the sound with the surface of the body. By converting sounds with 60 decibels to 90 decibels into 256 levels of vibration and light intensity and transmitting them to the body, hearing impaired people can feel the rhythms, patterns, and magnitude of sounds. We expect the device to be used in schools for the deaf and other educational settings, as well as in sports and cultural events. The photo at bottom left shows the care support system we sell. This system allows administrators to watch residents 24 hours a day with sensors installed at several points indoors. In addition to the detection of actions such as getting up and getting out of bed, in the event of an accident, such as falling to the floor or abnormal breaths, it will notify the staff's smartphones of the accident. Since the status of tenants can be confirmed by videos, appropriate measures can be taken at an early stage and operational efficiency can be improved dramatically. There were reports that the facilities that introduced this system have improved their operational efficiency by about 30%. The last example is the Green Capacitor at bottom right. This was developed by Spacelink, which we invested in as a venture company. We are working with JAIST to commercialize this product in industry-academia collaboration. As an energy device capable of rapid, large-capacity charging, it is expected to be used in a wide range of fields, including consumer electronics devices like mobile terminals and wearable terminals, industrial equipment like robots and drones, and EVs. In this way, we will contribute to the SDGs through a three-way combination: conventional businesses, new businesses, and external collaboration. My explanation is over. Thank you for listening.
