It was a real pleasure to welcome Judson Althoff, CEO of Microsoft’s commercial business, to our Tokyo HQ and further strengthen the collaboration between マイクロソフト and 日立.
Over the years, Hitachi and Microsoft have built a strong relationship, formalized through a strategic AI partnership in 2024. By combining Hitachi’s deep domain expertise with Microsoft’s cloud capabilities and solutions, we can tackle real-world challenges for our customers and communities.
Our conversation reinforced just how much more we can achieve together, transforming social infrastructure across energy, mobility, and industry with AI. We’re committed to empowering frontline workers, boosting productivity, and delivering highly reliable solutions that create lasting impact.
I believe this partnership will bring meaningful benefit for society and I look forward to seeing Judson again as we continue this important journey.
