This is a technology and research journal introducing the research and development results, technologies, and new products of Furukawa Electric Group.

On issuing

Although the Furukawa Electric Group only recently entered the final year of the Medium-term Management Plan 2022-2025 (2025 Mid-term Plan) in FY2025, we believe that the outcomes of our research and development efforts thus far are contributing greatly to achieving the 2025 Mid-term Plan. We have also positioned 2025 as an important milestone for Vision 2030. In Furukawa Electric Review No. 56 , we intend to provide a portion of our research and development efforts targeting the realization of Vision 2030 and beyond its end-date of 2030. And we hope that the papers in this issue will offer a deeper sense of the Group’s resolve to take on challenges.
