Message from the President
The semiconductor-related market in which our group operates has changed significantly in recent years. One factor is the “incredible spread of AI,” and the other is the “positioning of semiconductors in national strategies as economic security.”
With ChatGPT appearing in the latter half of 2022, AI has quickly become a familiar tool that everyone can use, penetrating the market faster than any other service to date. In addition, new AI models are still being developed one after another.
Countries are positioning semiconductors as a national strategy, and in Japan, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has announced a “Strategy for Semiconductors and the Digital Industry,” with enormous capital investment being made in semiconductor-related companies including semiconductor and materials companies across the country.
Amid such changes in the environment, our group has set out its purpose in society as “creating new value-creating new value and a future through technological innovation and growth in the semiconductor market, focusing on human resource development and sustainability.” In order to achieve this, we have formulated a medium-term management plan MIRAI 2026 (April 2024 to March 2027), and defined the mission of each department based on the five keywords (1) market creation (creation of new markets), (2) innovation (technological innovation), (3) resilience (flexible response to changes), (4) alliance (collaboration on supply chain), and (5) integration (integration of values), and have just started all corporate activities.
By steadily implementing this medium-term management plan, our group will ensure that we keep up with the explosive growth of semiconductors and semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and we will transform the nature of our group’s business (from assembly to the technical fields of design and development), while at the same time collecting and analyzing all data obtained from the market and business in a unified manner, and creating new value that will lead to solving social issues. And we will work together with you to create a sustainable world.
I look forward to your continued support.
