Goals as president
The SoftBank group has been contributing to all mankind and human society through the Information Revolution since its inauguration.
We take ICT service business in the SoftBank group. We have been holding this mind and challenging to create a new added value with technological power.
I listed up that what we must do is ‘Achieve significant growth’.
It means ‘How we grow up’ rather than ‘How we survive’.
Therefore, we’ll have to increase more employees, and take a cutting-edge technology.
Also, we will create the No.1 business field as ‘We never lose about this’.
In addition, what we never forget is that every employee plays an active.
We will take all of measures to realize that ‘We can achieve it’.
Information Revolution - Happiness for everyone
