TOKYO—Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO: 6502) and its Group companies will be taking part in CEATEC 2023, scheduled from October 17 to 20 at Makuhari Messe, Chiba City, Japan.

Inspired by our corporate philosophy, "Committed to People, Committed to the Future," Toshiba Group actively contributes to the realization of carbon neutrality and a circular economy. The Group aims to achieve this by building infrastructure that everyone can enjoy, and a society connected by data.

At CEATEC 2023, Toshiba Group will showcase solutions focused on realizing safe and secure infrastructure, and achieving carbon neutrality. It is an approach that involves harnessing the cutting-edge technologies and hardware in the Group's portfolio, coupled with the extensive data generated by these resources.

On October 19, at the CEATEC CONFERENCE, Dr. Yutaka Sata, Toshiba's Executive Officer, Corporate Senior Vice President and CTO, will participate in a session entitled, "Japan-UK Collaboration: Paving the Way for Quantum Enabled Future." Alongside prominent experts in the field of quantum technology from Japan and the UK, Dr. Sata will discuss the present state of quantum computing technology and explore the challenges to be overcome in establishing practical applications for this groundbreaking technology.
