VISION
Chugai has set forth “CHUGAI DIGITAL VISION 2030” with a view to 2030.
STRATEGY
To realize “CHUGAI DIGITAL VISION 2030,” three basic strategies will transform Chugai’s business and provide healthcare solutions that change society:
1 Strengthen the digital platform
We aim to establish a global-level IT infrastructure by integrating various internal data and constructing an analysis platform. In addition, we will actively promote the recruitment and development of digital talent and establish a system that allows employees to freely express their ideas and challenges, thereby establishing a foundation for new value creation.
2 Optimize all value chains
We will use digital technology to dramatically boost the efficiency of each department and function, in particular production and marketing processes. Through a comprehensive analysis of customer data, we will also contribute to the development of new solutions to enhance customer experience.
3 Digital transformation for drug discovery and development (DxD3*)
Based on these three initiatives, we aim to realize next-generation personalized healthcare that only Chugai can provide.
