New Media "The Europe Times®" Launches Japanese and English Editions, Featuring Advanced Cases of European Companies

Smart Research Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Kento Ahira) (hereinafter, "the Company") has launched the Japanese and English editions of "The Europe Times®," an economic media that disseminates advanced initiatives and business uniqueness of European companies.

The Europe Times is a media platform that does not merely introduce European company initiatives as news, but rather re-edits primary information from the perspectives of human capital, sustainability, management philosophy, organizational development, and uniqueness, mainly for Japanese readers.

Through its marketing research business, the Company has been working to visualize corporate value. In doing so, we recognized a challenge: while Europe possesses a wealth of practical knowledge highly insightful for Japanese companies—such as long-term oriented management, investment in human resources, and ways of building relationships with society—this information has not been sufficiently accessible in Japanese.

The Europe Times was launched to bridge this information gap.
We will deliver content that reconstructs European values and ideas in a way that is easily applicable to the practical work of Japanese executives, practitioners, and business readers.

Media Name: The Europe Times
Japanese Edition: https://jp-europe-times.com/
English Edition: https://europe-times.net/
Languages: Japanese, English
Content: Articles on human capital, sustainability, management philosophy, uniqueness, organizational/brand strategies, lifestyle, etc., primarily focusing on European companies.

1. Two-Site System: Japanese and English Editions

We operate both a Japanese edition for domestic readers and an English edition for international readers, multi-facetedly disseminating the value creation of European companies.

2. Emphasis on "Primary Information" from European Companies

Content is edited based on corporate announcements, local interviews, and official information, from the perspectives of human capital, sustainability, organizational strategy, and brand philosophy.

3. Delivering "Reproducible Learning" instead of "Superficial News"

We delve deeply into structures, ideas, and underlying philosophies that can serve as references for Japanese companies, rather than merely focusing on trending topics.

4. Towards a Business Media Connecting Japan and Europe

Moving forward, beyond article dissemination, we aim to become an information platform that brings European knowledge to Japan and Japanese perspectives to the world through collaboration with companies, research institutions, local governments, and experts.

As the importance of human capital disclosure and sustainability information disclosure increases globally, many advanced initiatives are emerging in Europe. However, practical examples and philosophies that can be applied to real-world business are not sufficiently circulated due to language and distance barriers.

The Company aims to disseminate information about European companies in a more three-dimensional and continuous manner through The Europe Times, with the goal of delivering advanced European cases not as "distant news," but as "insights connectable to Japanese management."

The Europe Times will strengthen the following types of dissemination in the future:

・Interviews with European companies, organizations, and researchers

・Feature articles on human capital, sustainability, organizational development, and brand strategy

・Translation and re-editing of insightful European cases for Japanese companies

・Development of joint projects, reports, and events spanning Japan and Europe

The Europe Times will continue to provide reliable information for its readers as a media that conveys the essential value creation of European companies.
