Creating Business Opportunities Through Technology Exploration Activities

Preparing for the inflection point where new industries emerge while confronting innovation that solves societal challenges.

We continuously strive to realize innovative breakthroughs aimed at creating new industries and resolving societal issues. Currently, building on the widespread adoption of 5G, global development of the next-generation communication standard 6G—expected to be practical around 2030—is accelerating.

Murata is advancing a long-term strategy for 6G and the next-generation communication networks beyond it, focusing on acquiring the latest information and building robust partnerships. Furthermore, we are deepening our expertise across diverse technical domains—extending beyond device development to encompass network systems and software utilization—to lead innovations that will support the future communication infrastructure.

We contribute by “connecting” electrical, optical, and material technologies, and by helping to “connect” people and their relationships and aspirations.

Amid growing attention on diverse digital technologies like the metaverse and Digital twins, the acceleration of Communications speeds, increased network density, and the expansion of data centers are progressing. Concurrently, the urgent challenge of curbing power consumption is intensifying.

Murata, anticipating the information and communications society of the future, is advancing business opportunity exploration and R&D. Through co-creation with partners, we are tackling these challenges with innovative technologies that fuse electricity, optics, and materials, aiming to realize a freer and more comfortable future.

We are seizing business opportunities expanding through the transition to renewable energy and the advancement of the circular economy, driving new business and technology development.

New business opportunities are expanding due to the realization of carbon neutrality as a measure against climate change and the progress of the circular economy, which is oriented toward resource circulation. As solving environmental challenges becomes central to national growth strategies, balancing the realization of a sustainable society with business operations is a critical management issue for companies.

Murata is tackling global challenges and advancing new business and technology development that contributes to solving environmental issues. We do this through co-creation with internal and external partners, aiming to achieve a virtuous cycle of Social value and Economic value.

Through the fusion of the body and technology, we aim to advance people's lives and contribute to a world where they can live more fulfilling lives.

From a backcasting perspective, we envision a future by 2050 where diverse devices are closely integrated with the body and mind, supporting Wellness.

Based on this vision, Murata is advancing technology development and creation of new business models centered on four axes: “Body Augmentation,” “Existence Augmentation,” “Senses Augmentation,” and “Intelligence Augmentation,” addressing both internal and external aspects of the body.

Furthermore, we will collaborate with partners possessing diverse expertise in fields such as biotechnology, bioengineering, ergonomics, psychology, and intelligent information engineering to provide new value to society.

Advancing high-performance robotics technology development to support the future, creating enriched lives and a sustainable society.

Robotics is anticipated as a crucial technological field for addressing societal challenges such as declining birthrates and an aging population. In recent years, the rapid evolution of generative AI has accelerated the development of robots that naturally integrate into human living spaces, enabling more advanced and flexible support. These technological innovations are anticipated to be utilized across diverse fields such as nursing care, healthcare, and daily living support, contributing to enhancing societal sustainability.

Murata actively seeks out innovative technologies in the robotics field. By accelerating technology development and deployment, we aim to solve social issues and create new value. We will contribute to realizing robot technologies that enrich people's lives while deepening collaboration with partners.

Accelerating technological development to build new social infrastructure through the integration of space and Earth.

Human activity is rapidly expanding into space. The highly coordinated and integrated use of space systems and ground systems is expected to enable unprecedented economic and social activities. Diverse space-related technologies, such as satellite communications, Earth observation, and space resource development, are advancing, and their role as the foundation for social infrastructure and industry is becoming increasingly important.

By strengthening collaboration with leading space development companies and research institutions, we aim to build new social infrastructure that unites space and Earth. We will continue to challenge ourselves to create new value, maximizing the potential of space technology for future societal activities.
