Truly Open, Truly Trusted

A more open and connected world has brought rapid innovation and great benefits, but also comes with the possibility of new challenges and risks.

How should global leaders think about addressing those challenges?

Join us and find out at the NEC Visionary Week 2022 as we discuss this year’s theme, “Truly Open, Truly Trusted”.

This theme represents NEC’s never-ending pursuit towards the key principles of openness and trust. NEC has technologies which have been developed and tested in large, mission-critical systems where trust is crucial.

Come experience with us at the NEC Visionary Week 2022 how we use technology in ways that foster trust, accelerate open innovation, and maximize social impact.

We envision a world where all can share in the benefits brought from our concept “Truly Open, Truly Trusted”.
