Also, under the Satellite Growth Strategy, KDDI has established KDDI Digital Divergence to strengthen digital technology and software development through collaboration with various group companies that have the necessary capabilities for promoting DX and partnerships with external companies. Through this partnership, the KDDI Group will further promote the use of corporate data, connect society not only through communication but also through data, and promote the solution of social issues and DX for companies.
