Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation’s wide range of business domains extends from Semiconductors and HDDs to the Materials and Devices businesses of Toshiba Materials Co., Ltd. and Toshiba Hokuto Electronics Corp., and on to Nuflare Technology Inc.’s semiconductor production systems.

The novel coronavirus had a deep impact in the first half of fiscal 2020, but the global market picked up in the second half and has almost recovered to its pre-Covid level. I have no doubt that, thanks to decarbonization and innovation in telecommunications and artificial intelligence, we will see acceleration of the long term megatrends of progress in industrial IoT and energy-saving initiatives, advances in vehicle electrification, the widespread adoption of eco-friendly cars, and the explosion of information. These are all areas we focus on.

In Semiconductors, we are seeking growth in the industrial and automotive segments, and strengthening solution-based approaches with our higher value-added discrete semiconductors and system LSIs, especially for motor control applications. In HDDs, we continue to launch large capacity Nearline HDDs that support the growth and development of the data center market ahead of our competitors. In Materials & Devices, we provide cutting-edge materials, including SiN substrates and high precision electronic products for many markets, including automotive, industrial and medical equipment.

We believe it is critically important to take actions that support the 2030 attainment of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We tackle social issues and maximize contributions in all of our businesses by promoting innovation and providing products that contribute to people’s lives and the development of industry. We also place a very strong emphasis on compliance.

I want Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation to be trusted and valued by its customers, and to satisfy stakeholder expectations by maximizing corporate value. By doing so, we can play a critical role in realizing Toshiba Group’s aim of being a world-leading infrastructure services company, and also fulfill our own Group Vision: “Our semiconductor and storage products will always be a driving force to change the world”.
