have acquired a video surveillance company and are developing and
providing solutions that incorporate our image recognition and
behavior analysis technologies. In the area of cloud services, NEC
initiated a joint venture with Singapore Technologies Electronics
Limited in Singapore and a joint business with the Foxconn

several projects in improving the operation and management of
social infrastructure. For example, NEC provided solutions for a
waste collection system utilizing sensors and Big Data analysis, and

NEC will continue to pursue the steady growth of its global
business while taking these initiatives to a deeper level and
