The Japan Research Institute, Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Atsushi Uchikawa; hereinafter "JRI") will launch an advertising series, including TV commercials, that poses corporate and social challenges as "questions." Starting Monday, May 11, 2026, the "General Remarks" episode, "EV Battery Circular Economy" episode, "Management Research Center" episode, and "IT Solutions ~ Core Systems" episode will be rolled out.
In an uncertain era characterized by rapid and complex changes, it is extremely important to accurately identify the essence of challenges and possess clear judgment criteria. This enhances management clarity, improves the quality of decision-making, and leads to satisfactory problem-solving.
Therefore, JRI's new advertising series, under the catchphrase "Question the Future, Drive the Present," aims to pose future-oriented challenges faced by corporations and society as "questions" and to collaboratively consider directions for their resolution. This time, in addition to the "General Remarks" episode, which illustrates JRI's approach to problem-solving, we have produced and will deploy the "EV Battery Circular Economy" episode, which advocates for the domestic utilization of used EV batteries; the "Management Research Center" episode, which questions the meaning of AI utilization in management; and the "IT Solutions ~ Core Systems" episode, which considers the role demanded of financial groups' core systems in modern society.
JRI is a comprehensive information services company with three functions: a think tank, consulting, and IT solutions. Through this advertising series, JRI will share its perspectives on management and social challenges with everyone and provide support for problem-solving.
