I believe that the importance to society of mainstay power generation systems such as
thermal power will not change, and we will continue to work to accelerate the global
development of these systems. We have a long record of experience in the thermal power fi eld,
both in Japan and overseas, starting with achieving eight consecutive years in the No. 1 position in
the share of orders received for steam turbine generators from the North American market.
Furthermore, in order to expand this business, we will collaborate with The Babcock & Wilcox
Company, which is proud of having the top market share for boilers in North America, and we will
work to increase the number of package-supply BTG (boiler, turbine and generator) orders we
receive in such countries as India. In combined-cycle power generation as well, together with the
U.S. company General Electric, we will supply the world’s leading high-effi ciency thermal plants to
the global market.
Furthermore, as worldwide energy demand is still continuing to grow, our nuclear energy
business has a target of receiving orders for 39 units by FY2015 and we have set a goal of
achieving net sales of ¥1 trillion. However, depending on our customers’ situations and each
country’s energy policy trends, there is a possibility that the achievement of this goal may come a
couple of years later. We are planning to carry out measures to enhance safety at existing nuclear
plants in accordance with the safety standards that will be revised based on the results of analyses
currently being conducted by each-related organization. At the same time, we are also developing
next-generation nuclear reactors that will be extremely safe.
By offering new enhanced fusion products and services, maximizing synergies through integrating
technologies, sharing sales networks and developing products that match regional needs, we are
aiming to achieve stronger growth and higher profi tability in these segments.
In the Digital Products business segment, in addition to strong sales of both notebook PCs,
With regard to the Digital Products and Home Appliances business segments,
going forward, how will you achieve robust growth and higher profi tability?
