PRESIDENT GREETING

Although prospects for Japan's economy are uncertain due to heightened geopolitical risks starting with the situation in Ukraine, rising prices of resources, inflation and so on, ICT investment continues to grow thanks to initiatives for realizing digital reform of business models (digital transformation/DX) in domestic companies.
