C&C in NEC

C&C: Computers & Communications

“…social needs for communications might be ‘to talk and see between any persons, at any time, at any place on the earth, in the early days of the next century.

Assuming that this comes true, all technology, communications, computer and television will be, and should be, integrated for such needs at such time.”

Summary

(1) NEC’s technology and business have been developed by C&C vision from 1977.

(2) Some innovations are expected for the next i-society, and should overcome the problems such as the complexity and explosions of information.

(3) We have challenged to invent the innovations through 3-research-vision and the management (open-innovation, R&D + M).
