Takeshi Uenoyama, Ph.D. Fellow, Panasonic CorporationDr. Uenoyama first provides an overview of Panasonic and the company’s new R&D strategies, which include four strategic areas: home management networks, eco and smart business solutions, mobility systems and services, and connected services. He then discusses the importance of open innovation to accelerate the pace of R&D through collaboration with academia, start-up companies, and other R&D partners. Finally, he discusses the value achieved by Panasonic through open innovation in specific cases, such as new user-interfaces in personal devices, semiconductors, EEG sensors, and flexible displays.
