The “Environmental and Energy Revolution,” which aims to achieve the low carbon society, is happening on a global scale amid the escalation of environmental problems including global warming, and energy problems such as the depletion of fossil resources. Meanwhile, in Japan, the environmental and energy problems have turned into an urgent issue due to the impact of the Great Ea遊雅堂 おすすめ Japan Earthquake.
In 2010, we announced our medium-term management plan, 遊雅堂 おすすめ Frontier 2012, where we outlined several measures for creating 遊雅堂 おすすめ business. Now, we are initiating organizational change as of March 16 and April 1, to cultivate 遊雅堂 おすすめ businesses and to promote commercial development. By restructuring the organization, we aim to accelerate commercial development and to contribute to resolving the environmental and energy problems.
1. Establishing the 遊雅堂 おすすめ Business Promotion Department
~ Aim遊雅堂 おすすめg to accelerate commercial development by expand遊雅堂 おすすめg 遊雅堂 おすすめcubation functions ~
As of April 1, we will set up the 遊雅堂 おすすめ Business Promotion Department as an organization under the direct control of the President. We will expand the incubation function(no遊雅堂 おすすめ 1) to promote 遊雅堂 おすすめ business and early-stage commercial development.

In the 遊雅堂 おすすめ Business Promotion Department (below, this organization), the head of the department will have several full-time staff and all development projects will be under their control. The functions of this organization include securing personnel for marketing, production technology and quality assurance, joining with developers to investigate and draft market entry strategies and commercialization strategies, ascertaining winning technologies, and planning the commercial production schedule. This organization will also secure the necessary funds and facilities to accomplish projects and support more seamless and swifter business start-up.
By setting up this organization, Furukawa Electric will quickly bring numerous projects in the pipeline to commercial development and delivery to our customers. We will speed up the supply of 遊雅堂 おすすめ products that can contribute to the environmental society where we expect to see progress in the future, and by pinpointing customer needs and promoting efficient development, we will bring competitive products to market in good time.

2. E遊雅堂 おすすめablishing the High-Temperature Superconductivity Business Development Team

As of April 1, the Research & Development Division will separate the development department for high-temperature superconductivity from the Power & Sy遊雅堂 おすすめem Laboratories, to set up the independent “High-Temperature Superconductivity Business Development Team” (below, HTS Team) as an organization under the direct control of the head of the Research & Development Division.

On February 3, the Furukawa Electric Group acquired SuperPower Inc., a manufacturer with capability for commercial production of second generation high-temperature superconducting wire. Making the most of this opportunity in the midst of the trends to innovate energy infrastructures, we will provide high-temperature superconducting wires for Smart Grids where global growth is expected, for the re遊雅堂 おすすめable energy field including sunlight, solar heat, and wind power, and for a range of societal and industrial fields. By developing and implementing applied equipment, we alsoaim to aggressively expand the business.
Internally, the High-Temperature Superconductivity Business Development Team will have the Applied Superconductivity Research Department, and will develop second generation high-temperature superconducting wire, practical applications for superconducting power cables, and applied equipment with a focus on electrical equipment. At the same time, we will e遊雅堂 おすすめablish a “Market Development Group” to boo遊雅堂 おすすめ the marketing of high-temperature superconductivity. Through the activities of the HTS team, we will contribute to achieving the energy-saving society by promoting the development and application of superconductivity technology and by aiming for a full-scale launch of the market for high-temperature superconductivity.
3. E遊雅堂 おすすめablishing the Offshore Wind Power Project Team
~ Boo遊雅堂 おすすめing the development of submarine cables ~
For the field of underwater resource development (offshore wind power, tidal power, development of seabed resources) where global growth is expected, the Energy Division set up the “Offshore Wind Power Project Team” on March 16 to reinforce the 遊雅堂 おすすめructure for developing submarine cables based on technologies held by the Group for designing, manufacturing and laying submarine cables.
Descrip遊雅堂 おすすめon
As transmitters of electrical power, submarine cables play an important function with no sub遊雅堂 おすすめitute in the field of marine resource development (offshore wind power, tidal power, development of seabed resources) where global growth is expected. For example, we believe that the future will bring an increasing demand for “long term” and “high voltage” connections to the floating 遊雅堂 おすすめructures seen in offshore floating wind farms.
Since the flexible submarine cables (below, riser cables) that transmit power and signals to floating 遊雅堂 おすすめructures are suspended in the sea, they are used under severe conditions where they are con遊雅堂 おすすめantly battered by the waves and the tides. Since these cables are required to provide the assurance of a reliable supply of power by tracking the movements of the floating 遊雅堂 おすすめructure without damaging the features or service life of the cable even with dynamic behavior, they require a high technical capability unlike the average fixed submarine cables.
At Furukawa Electric, we have accumulated a series of technologies from designing to laying riser cable at offshore oil fields and by laying cables to supply electricity and control underwater search equipment. The Project Team will promote development by playing a central role and 遊雅堂 おすすめrengthening links to the related departments, and aims to boo遊雅堂 おすすめ the competitive 遊雅堂 おすすめrength of the business and to contribute to society.
