Based on the judgment that Japan, which is exposed to serious climate risk and disaster risk on a daily basis, has a lot of market potential to benefit from its data analysis services, the company established a Japanese subsidiary in January 2020 with the aim of developing its business for the Japanese market, and began full-scale operations in 2021.
