Denso IT Laboratory is a Denso Group company that specializes in research and development. Our aim is to take full advantage of the backbone of Denso and, ultimately, turn the fruits of our R&D into products. Our R&D is not done for a predetermined product lineup. It all starts with us putting ourselves in the driver’s position and employing our rich creativity and free-thinking ideas to come up with innovations which put a smile on the drivers’ face. Our sights are set on a world roughly 5 years from now. In the midst of automobiles being connected to the home and to home electronics with a single plug, we work from the end-user’s perspective and carry out R&D that is designed to support convenience of everyday life with automobiles being a focal point but beyond the boundaries of automobiles.

What is essential for achieving a world that no one has yet seen is improvement of technological capabilities and open communication. For improving technological capabilities, we provide various kinds of support so that our researchers can improve themselves. For example, we are proactive about having them present papers at academic workshops and study groups during work hours, which boosts the researchers’ motivation. Spirited communication, both inside and outside the company, is also a major strength of Denso IT Laboratory. We have researchers specialized in a wide range of technologies and core strengths, and they exchange knowledge and information with each other. We also regularly hold cross-industry social events, enabling us to interact with a variety of experts from outside the company. The purpose of all this is so that we can generate new ideas with the inspiration and synthesis that result from open communication. Because of this openness, a lot of information comes together, which leads to better-informed decisions. We strive to be an open R&D company, in the hopes of taking full advantage of our location in Shibuya, a place where cutting-edge IT information and talent converge.

No matter how outstanding a technology or R&D topic may be, if it doesn’t become a product or service or generate a new value that will change the world we live in, it has no meaning. My role is to provide our researchers with an excellent work environment, further strengthen the ties between our researchers and Denso, and fulfill our researchers’ desire to see their work transformed into products for the public. As we join forces with people and companies who are pursuing the same dreams, I hope to utilize the R&D that makes Denso IT Laboratory unique to contribute widely to the world around us.
