Ancient Greeks used the word ‘symphonia’ to name the notes sounding together in harmony. They described it as the art of the ‘ensemble’, rather than a musical form. Something beyond a structure or a musical formula.

Behind every great symphony there is a great orchestra, comprised of different and extraordinary talents. The science of luthiers, the art of instrumentalists and performers. The perseverance of rehearsals, and the importance of teamwork.

At NTT Disruption we are the disruptive unit of NTT Group. Our parent company’s logo embodies the vision of their voice at the center, surrounded by a loop representing continuous innovation. We contribute towards this vision by applying technology for good. Our special orchestra of diversely talented and purpose-led engineers, scientists, humanists, and creatives, plays the notes to create disruptive solutions and IP generation, that will generate a positive impact on people’s lives.

Our orchestra

Each day, our orchestra of disruptors drafts a new movement in our symphony. We place people at the center of everything we do, as the guiding principle to build solutions that will improve our industries and societies in the realms of healthcare, wellbeing, and education.

🎶 Have a look at the notes that compose our disruptive symphony:
