Japanese Rakuten opens R&D center in Kiev!
Pictured last year's meeting between President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky and Rakuten founder Hiroshi Mikitani. The Join Japan team also had the honor of attending the event.
The Japanese company Rakuten is going to expand its presence in Ukraine and plans to open an R&D center in Kiev!
⠀
We endlessly respect Mr. Mikitani Hiroshi, the founder of Rakuten, for his magnificent intelligence and courage with dignity to fulfill these promises.
⠀
Last year, we were honored to organize a business meeting between President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky and Rakuten CEO Mikitani Hiroshi. We remember with bated breath how clearly the goals of the two leaders coincided: Zelensky dreamed of a “State in a smartphone,” and Mikitani dreamed of implementing a global IT strategy.
⠀
Unfortunately, we do not have the right to disclose all the details. We can only say that during the meeting Mikitani promised something. He said: "We will open an office in Kiev."
⠀
Amazingly, in just six months he managed to turn words into reality. Mikitani Hiroshi is an extremely busy person who spends a lot of time traveling, but this did not stop him from fulfilling his promise.
⠀
We, the Join Japan team, in turn, are ready to make every effort to serve the benefit of our customers in the future❗️
⠀
Yes, long live Rakuten!
