Furthermore, it is essential not only to seek better or best technologies but to pioneer unique and groundbreaking technologies—what we call "Only One" technology. This requires strong collaboration among industry, academia, and government, as well as the establishment and expansion of overseas operations.
Our research center is dedicated to the development of a sustainable society, guided by the principles of Planet Co., Ltd.
