In addition to highly versatile fundamental technologies, including organic and inorganic materials, analysis, thin-layer formation and processing, imaging, software and optics, which have been cultivated in the field of photosensitized materials and xerography, the Fujifilm Group possesses core technologies that lead to differentiation in terms of performance and cost. Operating in 13 business fields, the Group takes advantage of its product design technologies that follow from the integration of these basic and core echnologies. We apply these technologies to further advance and fuse R&D into the areas of highly functional materials, medical and life sciences, graphic arts, documents and optical devices to ltimately create new value.
The sustainable growth of the Fujifilm Group requires the ongoing creation of new usinesses, as outlined in VISION75, our medium-term management plan, which calls for the in-depth development and expansion of fundamental and core technologies. To this end, young, mid-level and expert researchers must act in concert to address the challenges of technological revolution by capitalizing on their respective strengths. Fully deploying existing systems, we will aggressively develop innovative technologies and products that lead to new ventures, while aiming to create new areas of focus and evoking within ourselves the passion to generate new ideas.
