"Smart Airport" won in the Service Design category of the Service Design discipline. "NEC Walking Analysis Technology," a co-creation project with FiNC Technologies Co., Ltd. and Makuake Co., Ltd., won in the Healthcare category of the Service Design discipline. Following last year's awards for Multimodal biometric authentication "Bio-IDiom" and The Hachioji Model: "Sustainable Healthcare Ecosystem," NEC has been awarded on two themes for two consecutive years. Each year, Hannover, Germany-based iF International Forum Design GmbH, one of the world's oldest independent design organizations, organizes the iF DESIGN AWARDs.

"Smart Airport" is a comprehensive design of "safe and comfortable airport services" centered on the electronic declaration gates of customs inspections areas that utilize NEC's top-quality Facial Recognition Technology to facilitate smooth procedures at airports. "NEC Walking Analysis Technology" aims to improve the quality of people's walking by obtaining information on their movements, visualizing and analyzing the status of their walking, and providing expert knowledge and advice based on the results of the analysis. In this way, NEC aims to create a society in which people can lead more healthy lives.
