Technology Future Vision: An Ever Evolving Vision for A Brighter Future A Society Where Individual Choice Naturally Leads to Caring for Each Other and the Planet

There is no significant change from the direction of technology development announced when the operating company system was launched.(Japanese only) With this vision, we have verbalized the society we want to create and presented anew the purpose of our technology. Through this presentation, we will (1) construct a story with a clearer vision towards 2040 and (2) focus on development with an awareness of not only individual core technologies but also the integration and combination of technologies aiming for their social implementation. I believe that one of the values of the Technology Future Vision is that it serves as a compass to this end.
When all individuals engaged in technology development talk together about the envisioned society and work towards the mountain top, I'm confident that our technologies will be connected group-wide like dots forming lines and lines forming spaces, accelerating our efforts.

For instance, in the field of energy, the use of energy devices like perovskite solar cells will permit energy creation at any location. Furthermore, when combined with a distributed energy resource management system (DERMS), which adjusts the balance between electricity supply and demand, our technology can achieve distributed management of renewable energy. If we could provide our neighbors with self-generated renewable energy, then we would contribute not only to home energy management but also to community-wide energy management. Energy distribution can be optimized from a resident's perspective without requiring people to make individual energy-saving efforts and sacrificing convenience or comfort. Such a cooperative society can be achieved, because the Panasonic Group has extensive customer contacts and understands their lifestyles.
