R&D Strategy

Based on the basic policy of its SMILE145 R&D strategy, the Seiko Group is pursuing research and development and the establishment of production technologies that contribute to products and services conducive to becoming a “solutions company.” Based on the MVP Strategies of each business domain, the Group will strengthen collaboration with the planning departments of its operating companies and aim to develop high-added-value products and services that create excitement and generate healthy profits, as well as technology that will contribute to growth in Society 5.0. Furthermore, to remain a sustainable company together with society, the Group is actively working to reduce the environmental impact of its operations by conserving resources and manpower and improving the efficiency of its processes through a streamlined approach, one of the Group’s core strengths.
The Group has established six fundamental technologies that represent the “Craftsmanship, Miniaturization, and Efficiency” cultivated over the years: analysis, materials, microfabrication, information and communications, assembly/ mounting/equipment, and imaging. By deepening each and every one of these fundamental technologies and pursuing “Craftsmanship, Miniaturization, and Efficiency” as well as by combining AI and digital technologies to advance these fundamental technologies, the Group aims to provide solutions that resolve the issues its customers face.
