When Canadian social scientists Anabel Quan-Haase and Barry Wellman invented the term “hyperconnectivity”, they were probably unaware of the impact it may create in today’s world.
Hyperconnectivity, where everyone and every “thing” is connected and communicating with each other, is essential to digital transformation and will ultimately change the way we live. Hitachi, with its social innovation business model, is in a unique position to bring more connectivity through its advanced technologies to boost people’s lives, particularly in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
“To achieve a seamlessly and comprehensively
connected and integrated ASEAN that will promote
competitiveness, inclusiveness, and a greater sense
of community.”
Global technology leader Hitachi is on a mission to deliver innovation to tackle social issues through the development of superior products and services by combining advanced OT X IT expertise and enhanced digital technologies like Lumada to accelerate ‘collaborative creation.’ Hitachi’s collaboration with GlobalLogic helped to enhance customer experience with the help of new digital technologies.
In its endeavor to contribute to Singapore’s Green Plan 2030 and build a decarbonised society with better connectivity, Hitachi leveraged cutting-edge technologies and was commissioned by BCA (Building and Construction Authority) to build the Super Low Energy Building platform for green buildings and a national database that collates and analyses green technologies.
With its technological prowess, Hitachi is helping to build smart cities as it has access to myriad aspects of smart city technologies including electric vehicle charging infrastructure, renewable energy, energy storage, and security.
ASEAN, home to more than 620 million people, is a land of great opportunities for establishing robust connectivity. The ASEAN companies are leveraging technology to optimize everything and embrace a digital future, where connectivity is the norm. We look at the sectors where hyper-connectivity may take a center in the future.
