Research and development at fujitsu laboratories

Fujitsu Laboratories continues to advance R&D in meeting the challenges of a new era in line with its mission of being "the research laboratory for the 21st century." In order to create a future ubiquitous information society sensitive to the needs of people while also being gentle to the earth's environment, we have been developing technologies that will define the future by focusing our efforts on materials, devices, networks, and computer systems. Fujitsu Laboratories also participates in a wide range of activities to realize safe and comfortable solutions for people. We must develop and expand our leading-edge technologies on a global basis. Toward that end, research bases established in the U.S., Europe, and China are working in collaboration. In terms of R&D management, individual laboratories share roadmaps for technology. This paper briefly introduces the R&D management and activities being conducted at Fujitsu Laboratories, with particular focus on the theme taken up by this special edition.
