Innovation
through collaboration

By integrating technology, we create an innovative future.

Why not explore a new future with Konica Minolta?

Social issues that need to be addressed have become more complex and are changing more quickly.
Konica Minolta constantly strives to solve social issues through open innovation without relying solely on its own technologies and assets.
Communication with you will help create a better future.

Solutions based on our technologies

For 150 years since our founding, we have focused on four core technologies: materials, optics, nano-fabrication, and imaging. We also have AI technologies and know-how to be integrated with these technologies.
Some of these technologies are presented on our website.
