Last year saw uncertain economic environment characterized by a historically weak yen and fluctuating policy interest rates across countries. Even amidst this demand from Japanese companies for DX (Digital Transformation) remained strong. Benefiting from this favorable circumstance, NRI Group achieved steady results along with many of our clients.

As we enter the AI era, there is demand for transformation in business models not only within IT, but across all industries. NRI Group is leveraging AI, centered around our AI CoE (AI Center of Excellence), bringing together experts across the organization. In system development, we are progressing with initiatives to apply AI across the entire development process to dramatically enhance our productivity. Additionally, there is a rapid increase in joint projects and PoCs regarding AI-driven business transformation with our clients, through which we feel the very high level of expectation placed on NRI Group. To remain the primary transformation partner for our clients in the AI era, NRI Group will further accelerate its efforts in utilizing AI.

In 2025, NRI will celebrate its 60th anniversary. Our mission to "envision and realize new paradigms" and "be a trusted partner for mutual growth," as declared in our corporate philosophy, remains unchanged. By incorporating technological advancements and social transformations, we will continue our self-innovation and, with the full strength of NRI Group, in our mission as an indispensable company for society.
