Cross-Industry Business Development

Digital and Green are clearing the industry barrier, and we promote cross-industry and mid-to-long-term development by initiating business development with leading European companies in: the holistic value chain of Energy Transition, the digital value-added service, Circular Economy, and other strategic areas.

Digital Transformation (DX)

We also pursue DX, creating new value by incorporating digital technologies into our current industry fields and providing cross-industry solutions to social issues. Our DX Centre provides key functions in driving the digital transformation of SCEU group companies’ businesses and tackling new business development, including the monetisation of digital transformation capabilities.

Investment in Start-Ups

Being at the technological frontline and edge of innovation are essential to the start-up ecosystem. We therefore invest in early-stage start-ups developing deep-tech and/or business models with a potential to disrupt whole industries. In Europe, IN Venture and Presidio Ventures Europe actively invest to foster start-up ecosystems and lead incubation for new business development, for the purpose of creating impactful values to society.

Industrial Plant and Heavy Machinery Trading

We supply plant and machinery products, mainly from European manufacturers, to Japanese industrial customers and provide solutions, especially in carbon neutrality, by coordinating logistics/after-sales services.

Rail, Logistics and Insurance

We have successfully delivered numerous rolling stock supply and maintenance projects, mainly in southeast Asia, and we are aiming to grow passenger rail services in Europe. We also provide a just-in-time distribution service as SGL Europe in the Czech Republic.
