TOKYO, January 14, 2025-Mitsubishi Electric Corporationannounced today that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to collaborate and innovate within Mitsubishi Electric's data center and cloud services businesses. The collaboration is another move toward strengthening data utilization solutions through its Serendie^TM digital platform and realizing a sustainable society by delivering solutions that help reduce the carbon footprint of data centers, which are in high demand worldwide.

Mitsubishi Electric is transforming its business model to create new value by combining data and expertise accumulated over many decades into new businesses built on the company's Serendie digital platform. The strategic work aims to accelerate and expand these initiatives by leveraging AWS's extensive technologies and insights in cloud computing and generative AI to quickly realize innovative data utilization solutions and modernize internal IT infrastructures. Mitsubishi Electric will work on the development of AI platforms for integration into Serendie, use AI to streamline business processes and decision-making across the organization, and use AWS educational programs to develop personnel well-versed in digital transformation (DX) and innovative approaches.

Through these initiatives, Mitsubishi Electric expects to promote the development of platforms equipped with multiple AI-agent orchestration, a technology that supports process optimization in digital manufacturing. Additionally, more robust data-driven insights with Mitsubishi Electric's product offering will advance the development of smart-building solutions that balance energy savings with productivity and comfort, more efficient building operation and providing added value services to tenants. Mitsubishi Electric also offers data center solutions including air conditioning systems, monitoring and control systems, uninterruptible power supplies, and power receiving and transforming facilities. With AWS's data analytics and AI technologies, Mitsubishi Electric will contribute to reducing the carbon footprint of its customers' data centers, a growing challenge as the use of generative AI increases.

Greg Pearson, Vice President, AWS Global Sales, AWS said, "We are pleased to work with Mitsubishi Electric to advance digital transformation initiatives. Together, we can help enterprise customers operate more efficiently by developing AI applications that will streamline processes and enable faster, data-driven decision-making."

Satoshi Takeda, Executive Officer, CDO (Responsible for DX, Vice President, Business Innovation) at Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, said, "Our collaboration with AWS will further enhance and accelerate the provision of data-utilization solutions via the Serendie digital platform, increasing our business competitiveness in the digital domain. We look forward to our continued work to maximize synergies and efficiencies with AWS to address urgent global issues, including decarbonization, for a more sustainable world."
