Strategy
Basic Approach
In our Medium-Term Management Plan, we state our Vision 2030 is to be a key technology solutions company in a global society where humans and machines co-create seamlessly. Over our history spanning more than 100 years, Nikon has cultivated ultra-precise Monodzukuri (manufacturing) capabilities, as evidenced in our lithography systems. We have also cultivated a brand that has popularized digital cameras worldwide and greater trust among our stakeholders. Leveraging these strengths, we will provide solutions closely tied to customer experience value and the generation of innovation, and expand possibilities for people in a world where humans and machines co-create more seamlessly. We will also contribute to the realization of a prosperous and sustainable society by providing innovative value that will help address societal and industrial challenges, including those presented in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Open Innovation
Investment Support Through Open Innovation (As of March 31, 2025)
In order to accelerate the development of new products and services, as well as the launch of new businesses that address diversifying social issues, Nikon actively adopts open innovation by leveraging external resources.
Creation and Utilization of Intellectual Property
To adequately protect the competitiveness of products and technologies that support sustainable business growth, Nikon has established and effectively utilizes a necessary and sufficient intellectual property portfolio. At the same time, we respect others' intellectual property rights while taking a resolute stance against infringements of our own intellectual property rights. Following these strategies enables us to create intellectual property and manage associated risks, both of which are essential for business growth from a medium- to long-term perspective.
