Sony is increasingly positioning artificial intelligence as a growth engine across its entertainment, gaming, imaging and technology businesses. Rather than treating AI purely as a productivity tool, Sony’s 2026 corporate strategy places AI inside a broader vision built around human creativity, entertainment IP and content creation. Sony says AI should amplify creators rather than replace […]
Aviation is one of the hardest sectors to decarbonize. Electric aircraft may work for short-distance travel, while hydrogen could play a role in selected future aircraft. But for long-haul aviation, liquid fuel is likely to remain essential for decades. That is why Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) has become one of the most important technologies in […]
A growing market is usually seen as a positive sign. If demand is increasing, revenues are rising, and more customers are entering the market, it seems logical to assume that companies operating in that industry should also become more profitable. But that is not always what happens. In many industries, market size can increase rapidly […]
Digital risk protection has become a major cybersecurity priority as organizations face threats beyond their internal networks. Phishing domains, fake social accounts, exposed credentials, executive impersonation, dark-web mentions, data leaks, malicious mobile apps, and third-party exposure can all create risk before traditional security tools detect them. According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Digital Risk Protection […]
Market research rarely depends on a single number or one source of information. A company may publish its revenue, an industry association may report shipment volumes, government databases may provide trade statistics, and industry experts may have completely different insights about what is actually happening in the market. So how do researchers decide which information […]
Artificial intelligence is usually associated with software, models, and cloud platforms. But behind every AI system is a complex hardware supply chain involving semiconductors, memory, materials, manufacturing equipment, testing systems, sensors, and data-center infrastructure. While the United States, Taiwan, and South Korea often dominate discussions around AI chips, Japan remains highly important in several critical […]
Japanese companies have long held strong positions in automotive manufacturing, electronics, industrial machinery, robotics, chemicals, precision equipment, and advanced materials. Their competitive advantages have traditionally included engineering quality, reliability, manufacturing discipline, and long-term customer relationships. However, the global competitive landscape is changing rapidly. New competitors from China, South Korea, the United States, and other technology-driven […]
Research institutes generate valuable scientific discoveries, but turning those discoveries into commercial products, licensing agreements, or industry partnerships requires more than technical excellence. Researchers must understand where market demand exists, which industries are ready to adopt new technologies, who the key competitors are, and what barriers may prevent commercialization. Market intelligence helps research institutes connect […]
Quantum computing is moving from a largely research-driven field toward a strategically important technology industry. Governments, technology companies, universities and specialized startups are investing in quantum processors, error correction, control systems and software architectures. As competition intensifies, patents are becoming an important way to understand where companies are investing, which technologies they consider commercially valuable […]
South Korea has spent decades at the center of the global display industry. But the nature of that leadership is changing. The country once dominated LCD manufacturing through companies such as Samsung Display and LG Display. Today, the strategic focus has shifted toward OLED, advanced manufacturing and higher-value applications including smartphones, laptops, automotive displays, XR […]
