In China, technological innovation is gathering pace rapidly. To keep creating new values and resolving social issues, collaborating with external partners with advanced technology has become the key to success. OMRON (CHINA) HQ concluded that the key to creating new value would be to work in collaboration with universities, with whom they had built partnerships for more than 16 years. These collaborations generated technologies and solutions required by OMRON group companies in China, and accelerated their work to solve social issues in the country. The team’s initiatives have since expanded to include venture businesses, and the circle of co-creation continues to grow.
