“Quality education” is an education philosophy that has gained much attention in present-day China. Our plan is to work with Japanese education institutions and aim for new market expansion in the ever-growing Chinese education market.
While combining online and offline functionality, we will develop a Japanese luxury brand that provides people visiting Japan on business or for pleasure with products and experiences and reflect traditional Japanese culture.
We will explore and pursue new ways of doing retail business in China and Southeast Asia in the post-COVID-19 era. Eventually, we will also aim to re-import these new modes of retail to Japan.
In these businesses, we will strive to use smart technologies to solve energy, environmental, safety, administrative and other such societal issues that urban centers in Asia face. In doing so, we will contribute to the development of more livable communities in Asia.
In these businesses, we will develop high-quality industrial parks in Asia that are safe and environmentally friendly, and that contribute to the sharing of technology, human resource development, and the creation of industries and jobs. These businesses will support corporate supply chain management strategies and new overseas expansion.
These businesses will facilitate the creation of next generation battery businesses and contribute to achieving low-carbon and recycle-based societies. With a view to realizing the values desired by both society and corporations, we will also promote IT service businesses overseas.
By introducing the technologies and products of countries with advanced medical services and pharmaceuticals to regions where medical care is underdeveloped, these businesses will contribute to the improvement of medicine and health worldwide.
These businesses will pursue solutions in the hospital and medical infrastructure issues. Contactless models such as remote diagnosis will be used in combination with offline infrastructure like hospital facilities to contribute to the development of medical service systems.
With the implementation of advanced digital outsourcing models, these businesses will curb ever-growing medical expenses, promote efficiency, and provide personalized, high-quality medical services.
In these businesses, we will develop an in-house e-commerce platform for use by traditional, small, family-run shops, and streamline the supply chain by cutting out intermediary distributors and wholesalers.
We will participate in e-sports businesses, which are rapidly growing on a global level, and by expanding these businesses in Japan and other Asian countries, we will build ties with next generation consumers (millennials and post-millennial generations).
Here we will aim to launch businesses in high-growth fields that account for mega trends such as retail finance, wellness, and circular economy ventures.
As a division newly established in 2019, we will pursue growth themes in domains that are expected to see explosive growth in the future, emphasizing speed to engage in the creation of new business models.
By anticipating the future need for social infrastructure and technological foundations (e.g. blockchain and next generation batteries), we will be able to create new business models.
Through collaboration with the other business divisions, we will promote businesses that fully utilize all of Marubeni’s resources. By promoting horizontal expansion (entering new domains and linking them with existing ones), we will engage in the creation of new platform functions.
We will use startup ecosystems and innovation centers to cultivate knowledge and experience related to the world’s most cutting-edge technologies and innovations, and develop revolutionary business models that have been proven in Europe and the U.S. as new businesses in Asia.
