Going forward, we will work to maximize our core technological capabilities in the areas of polymer science, pharmacology, biology, information sciences, and electrical and electronics engineering, and to combine these with nanotechnology and other advanced technologies to develop new markets and create new value. In line with our pledge to provide solutions that deliver the value that society and our customers expect, we have grouped these markets into four fields, which we have termed "Automobiles and Aircraft," "Information and Electronics," "Health Care," and "Environment and Energy," and are concentrating on collaborative strategic efforts that exceed boundaries between business groups and enhance Group core competencies. For example, we organize individual technology exhibits for major automobile and consumer electronics manufacturers with the aim of offering solutions that capitalize on the capabilities of the entire Group and incorporating feedback into R&D from the earliest stages.
