Come on, let’s sail off on an adventure together!

 I believe entrepreneurs are the ones who can change the world. This is because I think free ideas and actions are key to creating the future. Industry has centered around large corporations, not only in Japan but also globally. But with globalization and improved infrastructure today, not even the largest corporations are sure of tomorrow. That is how speedy and diverse the world we live in is. In this speedy and diverse world, there are rough seas. It is a ship that can be freely steered with a slight turn of the rudder as well as an adaptable and supportive crew that can overcome these waves. In other words, it can only be an entrepreneur or a team that can make decisions and act quickly. Speed is the greatest asset. But a voyage is dangerous nevertheless. It is not all sunny days, and ship-sinking rocks may lurk in unexpected places. Those that came before you left charts and a compass in the form of TEP. And better yet, the veteran navigators here will support you full force. Come on, let’s sail off on an adventure together!
