Toshiba Group Holds FY2019 Technology Strategy Briefing

TOKYO Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO: 6502) today held the Toshiba Group FY2019 Technology Strategy Briefing, where it unveiled the strategy and technologies that will drive the Group's progress in coming years, and its transition to become one of the world's leading CPS technology companies.

CPS cyber-physical systems collect data from the physical world for analysis and processing by digital technology. They create value through a constant feedback loop between the cyber and physical worlds that drives forward innovation.

Today's briefing focused on R&D policies for transportation, energy, manufacturing, logistics and leading-edge technologies, and also featured an exhibition of the supporting technologies: Toshiba's digital and AI technologies; renewable energy technologies; and technologies supporting new growth businesses in SCiBTM rechargeable batteries, power electronics, and precision medicine.

Over the five years of the Toshiba Next Plan, from FY2019 to FY2023, Toshiba Group will invest 930 billion yen in promoting the fusion of physical technologies built up over many years of experience as a manufacturer and the strong cyber technologies it has cultivated, to become a world-leading CPS technology company.
