Mr. Onodera has previously led industrial co-creation focused on space and urban development, alliances and capital and business partnerships, and Singulab (community business) as General Manager of the Industrial Co-creation Division. Going forward, as an Executive Officer with business responsibility, he will strengthen the management structure and provide further added value by integrating digital simulations (software) and real-world social implementation (hardware) through "PROVIDENCE," our integrated technology platform, without fragmentation.
■ Inauguration Comment
"For our company to truly contribute to society, it is imperative to integrate digital simulations (software) and real-world social implementation (hardware) into one continuous flow, without division. To accomplish this challenge, I am determined to lead, however humbly, by injecting the 'business development experience' and 'capital strategy perspective' I have cultivated throughout my career. We will not let the grand future we envision remain a distant ideal, but will steadily and continuously advance it as a tangible reality. I will pursue this mission with more passion and sincerity than anyone else."
