For an organization like ours that places high value on innovation and R&D, we are always happy when our researchers are recognized for their ideas. One recent award-winner is Takuya Mitarai of the Transmission Devices Laboratory, who received the SSDM Young Researcher Award at the International Conference on Solid State Devices & Materials in September for his work on reducing power consumption in infocommunications technology. Citing a surge in the amount of electricity needed to support growing data center traffic and AI usage, Mitarai-san said "I am committed to advancing research to find fundamental solutions to this challenge." Another young researcher, Yutaka Hoshina of the Analysis Technology Research Center, was honored this past summer by the Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence with a JSAI Incentive Award. Hoshina-san's work involves the application of AI to expand the varieties of work for employees with disabilities, specifically in the area of evaluating product quality. "As part of our commitment to diversity, our goal is to help create workplaces where everyone can work with ease," said Hoshina-san. For more details on these initiatives, please see below.

I was thrilled to attend the 2024 International Investment Summit to discuss how the UK can improve its global standing. Prime Minister Starmer's keywords, ‘Guaranteeing stability, stimulating investment through partnership with business and upgrading the regulatory regime’, gave me a strong sense of his determination to grow the UK. Through direct dialogue with the ministers, I am confident that they will give us powerful support for our submarine cable factory being built in Scotland, UK. Our products are essential to achieving net zero. With the new plant and further investment in the future, we are proud to make a significant contribution to the economy, as well as net zero and decarbonising the grid, in Scotland and the UK. I would like to thank everyone for inviting me to this excellent meeting and express my gratitude to all those involved in arranging this outstanding event. #UKInvestment #InvestmentSummit2024

With only six months to go until opening day, excitement is building for Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan! We are especially excited about the Sumitomo Pavilion, a dedicated exhibition hall that's the collaboration of more than a dozen Sumitomo companies. The theme of the pavilion is "Unknown Forest"—a tribute to the verdant mountain range where Sumitomo's copper mining business began in the 17th century, and more importantly an invitation to learn about the diversity of the natural world and how we can build a more sustainable future on our planet. Highlighting the exhibit will be an immersive three-dimensional sensory experience featuring video, sound, wind and fog!

From the President's blog: "On September 3rd, we held a town meeting with seven young managers. These meetings are a forum for direct dialogue between employees and executives, and are held every year at company locations throughout Japan for employees in different ranks and job types. On this particular occasion, it was our first time to have a town meeting specifically for young leaders in our organization. This was fitting due to the increase we've seen in recent years of younger employees being promoted to management roles. I went to the meeting very much looking forward to hearing directly from the participants about what they feel every day as they manage their respective groups."
