OREANDA-NEWS. NEC Corporation is committed to providing "solutions for society" by harnessing ICT to develop more advanced social infrastructure based on the company's 2015 Medium-Term Management Plan. In June this year, NEC created a new brand message for its social solutions business; "Orchestrating a brighter world." The word "orchestrating" reflects NEC's determination to create new value in partnership with people all over the world, by harnessing its advanced technologies and expertise in ICT, and to pave the way for a more enriching, brighter future for society and our everyday lives.

Before arriving at "Orchestrating a brighter world," NEC focused on major changes facing economies and societies around the world over the next ten years (six megatrends), namely (1) interconnected issues relating to resources and the environment, (2) growth and new challenges in emerging economies, (3) exploring models for mature societies, (4) improving individual abilities and increasing influence, (5) shifting from centralized to distributed power, and (6) responding to increasingly diverse threats as well as safety and security needs. With that in mind, NEC has set itself the challenge of addressing "Seven Themes for Social Value Creation."

NEC has today published the "NEC Vision for Social Value Creation 2014," which outlines visions and advanced initiatives under each theme. The company has also issued "NEC Vision Case Studies and Highlights 2014," which features key businesses in support of solutions for society. Please see the themes below and access the following links for further details.
