Nikkei Inc. has announced the 2017 winners of its 36th Nikkei Superior Products and Services Awards, chosen by a judging panel chaired by Hiroshi Komiyama, chairman of the Mitsubishi Research Institute.
This year's winners feature products and services that apply new technologies to address problems, particularly in the fields of caregiving and tourism. Many represent our current moment by preparing for the coming the internet of things, in which functional appliances are designed to operate with online networking.
