Fujitsu Ltd. and companies like it are struggling with a shortage of technology workers, the company’s Chief Technology Officer Vivek Mahajan said, a crunch that could hit the rollout of new artificial intelligence and other applications.
“The talent crunch is in all areas and particularly felt since speed is key,” Mahajan said in a presentation on the Tokyo-based technology company’s research and development strategy on Wednesday. For example, Fujitsu is struggling to find experienced engineers who specialize in chipmaking to work on the Fujitsu-Monaka semiconductor, which is set to be the company’s first 2-nanometer processor and is due to debut in 2026, he said.
