Realizing the future with 8K+5G and AIoT

8k 5G IOT SHARP 01

In 1915, Sharp founder Tokuji Hayakawa invented the innovative twist-type Hayakawa Mechanical Pencil – later dubbed the Sharp Pencil, the origin of our corporate name. Since that time, an attitude of giving sincere thought to the people who use a product – and of harnessing originality and creativity in the pursuit of convenience and quality – has been the foundation of Sharp.

In May 2017, Sharp published the fiscal 2017-2019 Medium-Term Management Plan. Under this plan, we are pursuing reform in our businesses, arenas of competition, and operations, shifting our focus from defense to offense, and transforming ourselves into a company that delivers people-oriented IoT and an 8K+5G ecosystem on a global scale.

This is the Sharp business vision by which we intend to grow, using 8K ultra-high-definition technologies, 5G technologies, and AIoT, a combination of artificial intelligence and the internet of things.

We will realise a future in which 8K and 5G technologies are used, for example, in telemedicine and remote learning, bringing medical advancements and quality education to every corner of the world. 8K technologies can even be used to reduce food scarcity by causing a dramatic leap ahead in agricultural productivity through usage in pest control and crop cultivation management systems.

We will create smart homes and smart cities with AIoT, in which people live more comfortably and safer. AIoT will introduce greater productivity to smart offices and smart factories, driving sustainable economic development and creating a society in which every person lives true to themselves.

Sharp is transforming faster than ever to bring such future into reality. In more than 100 years since our founding, Sharp has remained faithful to our founding spirit of sincerity and creativity. We still embrace our founder’s ideal to “make products that others want to imitate”.
