With witnessing huge scale of the change, acceleration of the evolution of business environment,
You can say the validity of any sort of business strategy based upon a certain set of rigid assumptions may be easily becoming obsolete.
You need to pay a very close attention to speed of the evolution of technology, structure change of the markets, rising concern or demand for environment and sustainable society, and to the geo-political situation across the globe as essential background of any sort of business development.
Under those circumstances, it would be more important to brush up further the leadership in changes, in diversity, for the further growth of the business in coming decades utilizing fully the Japanese heritage of the technology, quality of engineering, and efficiency and competitiveness of industry.

We have set Office Saikawa’s mission as follows and extend activities accordingly.
Support to the business, the ventures, the leaders, who challenge to go across the globe starting from Japan.
Support to the business challenge to rapidly evolving Social environment, technology, and mobility.
