Many of the things we take for granted today were, not so long ago, the stuff of fanciful science fiction. Reality changes and morphs as we progress and discover new ways to interact with the world and each other. This concept of a new reality – an upgraded reality – is at the center of the work being done at NTT Research, who are developing advanced technologies that promote positive change for humankind. Just how will that look – and what does it mean for businesses in 2023?

NTT partnered with the property development and sports excellence team behind the New Zealand Campus of Innovation and Sport (NZCIS) to create the ultimate digitally-enabled, multi-tenanted sports training campus. At its heart is IT infrastructure that’s designed for data collection, analysis and results – like giving teams and athletes using the campus the edge over their competition, building new revenue streams for clubs and creating engagement opportunities for fans unlike anything they’ve experienced before. This will also enable the region (and New Zealand) to attract greater international sporting interest and investment.

Digital twins are virtual representations of real-world objects or processes, creating powerful simulations for prediction and optimization. Applied to medicine, we’re able to employ digital twin technology to create virtual versions of people’s hearts, offering a groundbreaking way of predicting and treating cardiovascular diseases. Joe Alexander, Distinguished Scientist at NTT Research’s MEI (Medical and Health Informatics) Lab, walks us through the advances being made in bio digital twin technology and how they can fulfill the vision of remedying heart problems before they occur.

The Covid-19 pandemic has changed everything about how we communicate and congregate in social spaces. Relying heavily on remote connection makes high-speed and broad bandwidth, with low costs and immediate use, high in demand. NTT is collaborating with partners and using All-Photonics Network (APN) technology to research and develop on-demand photonic multipoint connection technology. Hirotaka Yoshioka and his colleagues from NTT’s Network Service Systems Laboratories set out how this new technology is transcending geographical boundaries to connect the world.

The 2020s has signaled a significant shift in market forces and regulatory dynamics, such as the rise of Web3 and digital public goods providing an alternative to the centralized platforms that have dominated the past decade. Firms that recognise the rise of platforms, and their importance in shaping economic activity, will be best positioned to succeed in this new landscape. The widely-published researcher, author, industry keynote speaker and global C-Suite advisor, Sangeet Paul Choudary, explains that whilst it’s here to stay, the future of the platform economy looks nothing like its past.

In the world of sports, much research has focused on improving the physical performance of athletes, leaving the mental side relatively unexamined in terms of technological augmentation. With new science, we’re able to look at brain functions in relation to athletic performance – and develop innovative training based on the findings. NTT is looking to a future where everyone can see their talent flourish and exercise their true potential; and where brain science, technology and sport can be united to increasingly improve our understanding of a healthy lifestyle.

Rather than trying to ‘do’ innovation – the first challenge of which is understanding the various ways in which the word is used – leaders should instead test hypotheses through R&D. Mark Masterson, Head of Research & Development at NTT DATA UK, outlines how we better understand the meaning of innovation, its different business contexts, and how we can all generate (and execute) better ideas.
