Message from General Manager for Japan Region

The Japanese market faces numerous challenges, including population decline, labor shortages, regional disparities, and industrial restructuring. At the same time, it possesses strengths such as accumulated field-based capabilities and technologies, as well as long-term trust relationships with customers. Within this uniquely Japanese environment, there is an increasing need to establish viable businesses and generate sustainable value.
We aim to leverage our group's customer base, digital solutions, and real assets in our areas of strength, and create businesses that achieve both profitability and sociality beyond mere concepts and proof-of-concepts. To this end, we will intensify our collaboration not only internally but also with diverse partners including corporations, local governments, universities, and startups.
The challenges faced by each region within Japan are not all the same. By confronting the issues visible only from a position close to the front lines and persistently realizing business solutions together with partners, we aim to enhance the value of our group's presence in Japan.
