THE "CONNECT 2020" PROJECT
 
In this context, Dai-ichi Life Group recently launched its "CONNECT 2020" plan, which aims to make the company evolve and to transform its relationships with various partners. Indeed, with this "CONNECT 2020" plan, the company's four main goals are to connect better with customers, to connect deeper with communities, to connect with more diverse partners, and to connect tighter as a group.
As part of this new plan, Dai-ichi Life Group is driving further and further innovation. For instance, the company has already established two Dai-ichi Life Group Innovation Labs: one in Tokyo and one in Silicon Valley. And many more actions are to come!
 
 
With the Dai-ichi Life Group Innovation Challenge, which is only one of many applications of the "CONNECT 2020" plan, the company wants to create new synergies and collaborations with start-ups, in order to develop unique solutions and technology to answer actual and future costumers’ needs.
