TE Connectivity Paves the Way for the Future with the Power of Connection

Kanagawa Prefecture, Kawasaki City – April 1, 2026 – TE Connectivity Japan LLC (hereinafter "TE Connectivity Japan"), the Japanese subsidiary of TE Connectivity (NYSE: TEL, headquartered in Galway, Ireland), a global leader in connectivity and sensor fields, announces its dream in support of "April Dream," a day for sharing dreams that one earnestly wishes to realize.

TE Connectivity Japan's dream is to "connect all people, things, and matters worldwide, co-create innovation, and contribute to people."

The foundation of this dream lies in the concepts of "connectivity," "innovation," and "together." In an era of significant societal change, such as climate change, energy transition, and industrial structure advancement, robust connection technology plays an increasingly crucial role. We believe that collaborating within an ecosystem that transcends corporate and industry boundaries, and jointly creating value, leads to the realization of a sustainable society.

In this context, TE, as a leading company in "connectivity" that connects people and technology, industries and society, has supported the foundation of diverse industries for many years. Our connectivity and sensor solutions underpin the invisible infrastructure for power, signals, and data, and are utilized in a wide range of fields, including next-generation transportation, energy networks, industrial automation, and data centers. These global initiatives are also being realized in Japan's technology development sites. Katsuhiko Kobayashi, Sr. Manager, R&D / Product Development Engineering in the DDN (Digital Data Networks) business unit, who is involved in developing data center technology, shares his dream:

"From Japan, we want to exert solid strength in the connection technology that supports the vast data of the AI era."

With the widespread adoption of generative AI, data centers and high-performance computing (HPC) demand even faster, denser, and more reliable connections than ever before. AI computations are vast, and even a minor connection failure can lead to the shutdown of the entire system. In response, TE is working to realize "uninterrupted connections" that support the AI society through high-speed interconnects supporting 800G/1.6T, next-generation connectors that enable high-density server and switch configurations, and design technologies that address AI's unique thermal and power challenges.

Meanwhile, data centers are complex ecosystems where diverse technologies such as servers, networks, semiconductors, and cloud services interact. As a member of this ecosystem, TE collaborates with customers and partners to jointly conduct technical verification and adapt to new architectures, co-creating technologies that support the digital infrastructure of the future.

Kobayashi states: "With the advancement of AI, connectivity demands higher quality than ever before. Addressing complex challenges such as higher speeds, increased density, heat, and power requires close collaboration with many companies involved in the ecosystem. Based on the accumulation of such cooperation, we want to deliver solid value from Japan."

TE will continue to work with partners from diverse fields to realize a sustainable, connected future.
