In China, for more than 40 years since Hitachi's first office was set up in Beijing in 1979, we have consistently focused on China business and expanded our business in line with China's development direction. Today, Hitachi is active in China with sales of 70 billion yuan; 136 companies and 50,000 employees in a wide range of fields including social infrastructure, IT and automotive equipment; and strong ties with China.

As the world is exposed to various changes such as environmental problems and pandemics, it is increasingly necessary to shift to a "sustainable society".

In order to realize this, Hitachi promotes social innovation businesses that solve various social issues by utilizing "IT (Information Technology)", "OT (Operational Technology)" and "Products".

Going forward, driven by digital and green innovation, we will continue to contribute to China's high-quality society construction and develop our business in China meticulously.
