Accoding to the rapidly changing social conditions, NEC will present its vision for the future society and industrial transformation, while also introducing the social value creation brought about by the fusion of AI and Networking for the realization of a society where people live prosperous lives.

In the future, while increasing digitalization will make our lives more convenient, there are concerns about a sense of social injustice due to the widening digital divide, a shortage of workers due to the declining birthrate and aging population, and a decline in the meaning of life in daily life. In response to this future image, DOCOMO aims to contribute new value to society and build a sustainable future through advanced technologies and innovations, thereby promoting the development of society as a whole and realizing a well-being life for people. We will introduce social implementation initiatives such as the Metaverse, which provides new opportunities for people to play an active role by freeing them from constraints such as space, time, and body; the Generative AI, which dramatically improves productivity of individuals and industries; and the Human Augmentation Platform🄬, which removes traditional communication barriers through emotions, thoughts, and five senses. We will also introduce R＆D of　the advancement of 5G networks and next-generation mobile networks for the 6G and IOWN era that support these initiatives.
