## Background of Support
Our company holds the vision of "increasing independent talent and enhancing life happiness."
42 Tokyo's philosophy is to provide opportunities for high-quality education to everyone with the will and passion to learn. Through education that polishes universal skills required to thrive in society in addition to engineering fundamentals, their stance of supporting independence as an engineer resonates deeply with our vision, leading to the conclusion of this sponsorship.

Our IT professional matching service for companies, "IT Pro Partners," has numerous highly skilled IT engineers registered who can make an immediate impact. Professional talents are powerful drivers that support corporate problem-solving and growth in today's era of severe talent shortages.

We firmly believe that supporting engineers studying at 42 Tokyo will lead to the future production of excellent professional talent, contributing not only to the growth of individual companies but also to Japanese society as a whole.

## Future Initiatives
Moving forward, our members will lead efforts to consider hosting seminars and development competitions for 42 Tokyo students.
We aim to create opportunities for CTO Okada and TechFeed founder Shiraishi to pass on the know-how they have acquired through their extensive experience to future engineers.
By supporting the students of 42 Tokyo, we will help increase the number of excellent, independent engineers in society.
