Technology

Technology drives innovation, productivity and global competitiveness across Asia’s rapidly evolving economies.

As artificial intelligence accelerates global demand for data, Kioxia quietly powers the memory layer beneath the digital economy. From enterprise SSDs to advanced NAND flash, the former Toshiba Memory remains a critical but often overlooked pillar of modern computing infrastructure.

Quantum computing is becoming more than a technological breakthrough. Across Asia and beyond, it is evolving into a strategic contest over infrastructure, standards, cybersecurity and control—reshaping how power is organized in an increasingly interconnected digital world.

The internet is no longer confined to apps, platforms and screens. Across Asia, sensors, embedded systems and connected infrastructure are transforming factories, cities and energy networks into realtime computational environments — reshaping how societies operate, govern and compete.

As semiconductor scaling reaches its limits, photonics offers a new path forward. By integrating light into chips, the industry faces a shift from design challenges to manufacturing complexity—where materials, precision and scalability define the next phase of innovation.

From hard drives to electric vehicles, Nidec powers the movement behind the digital economy. Its precision motors and evolving role in cooling and electrification make it a silent but essential force shaping modern industry and global infrastructure.
