A Message from The CEO
Katsumi Ishiwata
For the past 30 years, I have created business improvement proposals for domestic and foreign companies who are a part of foreign-affiliated IT firms, establishing Japanese bases for these firms and providing them with business support after establishment.
In recent years, instead of looking to the capital city of Tokyo for their first base in Japan, many of these firms have been looking to the rural areas. This is due to both the development of communication technology and a reduction in initial investment costs. There are also more and more companies setting up secondary locations in these rural areas to aid with recovery in the event of a disaster.
As such, I established Presage Consulting in Kobe, an area rich in international character and comparable to Osaka as a location for business, in an aim to support foreign-affiliated IT companies looking to expand into Japan for the first time. Our company will strive towards making Kobe more vibrant through what we do, and moreover, we will make the Japanese market more attractive.
