General Incorporated Association EMC GLOBAL (Location: Musashino City, Tokyo, Representative Director: Tatsuya Tsubuki, hereafter: EMC GLOBAL), which aims to produce human resources with global entrepreneurship from United Asia, announces that as of March 3, 2026, Yoichi Ito has stepped down as Representative Director, and board member Tatsuya Tsubuki has been newly appointed as Representative Director.
■ Background of the Change in Representative Director and Future Prospects
'EMC GLOBAL' started as the name of a global entrepreneur development project conducted when Musashino University's Entrepreneurship Faculty—the only faculty in Japan specialized in entrepreneurship—was selected for the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's 'FY2023 University Startup Creation Support Project.' During the adoption period, it achieved results such as planning multiple pitch tours aimed at exchanging global talent with India, the Philippines, Singapore, and Indonesia. To continue these efforts after the project concludes at the end of March 2025, a general incorporated association was established to commence operations.
In September 2025, it was also selected for 'TOKYO SUTEAM,' a startup support project promoted by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and has begun fostering global entrepreneurs in earnest.
Tsubuki, who assumes the role of the new representative, originally hails from the electronics manufacturer Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. (currently Panasonic Corporation) and has experience being stationed in Indonesia for overseas sales. He also possesses abundant business experience and deep knowledge in the Asian region, having been involved in launching businesses in Hong Kong and establishing a university in Cambodia. He currently serves as the head of the department at Musashino University's Entrepreneurship Faculty.
Belonging to a generation whose business career overlaps with 'Japan's lost 30 years,' he harbors a strong desire for 'Japanese youth to look more toward Asia and become human resources with global entrepreneurship.' Yoichi Ito fully agreed with this sentiment, leading to the creation of EMC GLOBAL's activities. EMC GLOBAL's vision of 'producing human resources with global entrepreneurship from United ASIA' is an expression of that desire.
As EMC GLOBAL's activities go into full swing, this change in representation was made to further accelerate the project by having Tsubuki, who originally triggered the launch of this project, assume the position of representative.
Moving forward under the new structure, we will strongly drive the construction of an Asia-originated global startup ecosystem by deepening collaboration with companies and local governments, including exhibiting at 'SusHi Tech Tokyo 2026' scheduled for April 2026.
