Using our expertise in environmental and digital technologies, we endeavour to power good by creating a safer and smarter world.
In July of 2022, we brought 30 University students from ASEAN and Japan to Singapore to discuss the importance of social innovation and its relevance in this post pandemic world at our 16th Hitachi Young Leadership Initiative (HYLI).
Together with Asian leaders of today representing governments, businesses, civil society, and academia, we explored how we can all power good with social innovation through our experiences and perspectives.
In such instances, social innovation becomes the driving force for companies and government agencies to act towards improving living conditions.
