Hitachi Ventures into Web3 Unveiling Solutions for Business Transformation and Innovative Applications

Hitachi Launches Comprehensive Web3 Development Support to Assist Corporate Transformation
Hitachi Solutions, a subsidiary of the Japanese multinational corporation Hitachi Group, recently announced that it will begin offering “Web3 Development Support Solutions” starting October 30. This solution aims to provide enterprises with one-stop support ranging from employee training to the commercialization of Web3 platforms, accelerating their entry into the new digital era.
Hitachi Solutions will support enterprises through four phases: “Knowledge Acquisition,” “Business Concept Creation,” “Development and Implementation,” and “Operation and Maintenance.”
Initially, they will provide training courses on the basics of “What is Web3?” followed by business consulting. Subsequently, they will assist enterprises in creating use case studies and provide infrastructure development and maintenance services. For example, they will offer training on acquiring foundational knowledge of Web3, research support for Web3 applications, blockchain utilization services, and enterprise-level Ethereum client maintenance support.
Deeply Engaged in the Blockchain Industry, Leading New Trends in Technological Application
Since 2016, Hitachi Solutions has been actively involved in the development of blockchain business, collaborating with Hitachi Ltd. and overseas companies. Despite having cultivated this industry for many years, they have been seeking to further enhance their market position. The newly launched solution encompasses familiar services such as Software as a Service (SaaS) cloud computing and Platform as a Service (PaaS) based on Hyperledger Besu, as well as Consensys GoQuorum transaction signers provided by UK-based Web3 Labs.
Hitachi Solutions stated that whether enterprises are new to Web3 and blockchain or looking to validate commercialization, they can offer solutions that meet their needs.
In terms of use cases, the company illustrated achieving “regional revitalization” through decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) or issuing independent currencies, enhancing marketing through limited-edition products, and managing supply chains through producer certification.
Targeting Future Market Demand, Supporting Digital Transformation Across Multiple Industries
Hitachi Solutions emphasized that blockchain technology and Web3 represent new IT technologies capable of addressing traditional centralized data management and trust issues. They believe that various industries will need to build new business models utilizing blockchain technology in the future.
Particularly in a 2024 survey, the financial and insurance sectors expressed high interest in “digital currencies and smart contracts”; the transportation and postal industries focused on “recording the movement and delivery status of goods”; and the healthcare and welfare sectors emphasized the need for “secure information management for patients and users.”
To support the sustainable operation of enterprises, Hitachi Solutions will provide experienced professional consulting and comprehensive solutions. They stated that they will assist businesses in achieving success in the new digital era through their professional teams and abundant resources. In a recent overseas case, American tech company CattleProof utilized blockchain to prove the traceability of beef cattle services, obtaining certification from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, reflecting the deepening application of blockchain technology across global industries.
Therefore, blockchain should not only be used for discussions on investment and speculation; there are still many intriguing cases and business models internationally waiting to be explored.
