The NTT Group has announced their intention to donate US $2.5 million to support humanitarian aid for Ukraine and neighbouring countries where citizens are fleeing.

Through the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and other organisations, this donation will provide support to protect the lives and safety of citizens in Ukraine and neighbouring countries, including the establishment of evacuation centres, distribution of relief goods, and psychological care for children.

In addition, NTT is making international calls to Ukraine free of charge and is accepting donations from customers to support humanitarian crisis response and relief efforts in Ukraine.

NTT History: 

The first telegraph service was started in Tokyo and Yokohama in 1870, laying the groundwork for all future NTT endeavours.

NTT shows the future of communication by exhibiting a video-telephone connecting Osaka with Tokyo and a wireless telephone at the Japan World Exhibition in 1970.  

NTT joined “The Valuable 500,” an international initiative to promote participation in the business of people with disabilities in 2019.   

“Digital Transformation is changing the way we make business decisions. People in charge of operations are looking to validate their findings based on data and insights. In the past, decisions were made on visible information, the content available to savvy, experienced employees and based on a specific intuition. As a result, the quality of decisions that drove business varied considerably with time and the skill level of the employees. With the advent of IoT and network infrastructure, IT and OT are converging, bringing the opportunity to help narrow the variation by providing insights and information that drive better decisions,” says Product Manager, NTT.
