In order to make effective use of digital assets, we are conducting research and development to apply blockchain technology. With our new management team structure in July this year, we are now focusing on implementing our knowledge of blockchain R&D in society. In addition, we are strengthening our research and development activities with overseas companies. To create a strong development environment where we can start many blockchain projects in Japan, we invited two experts as external advisors who have abundant business experience in the world, and who have been actively involved in blockchain technology education and general activities.
