SORAMITSU | 2016-2025

Over the last nine years, a lot has happened and we have contributed to many positive changes in the world! Just 2024 alone was a jam-packed year of hard work and many successes.

Just to summarize a few out of many, many things we have done over the last 9 years:
Since Ryu Okada, Ikkei Matsuda, and I initially founded SORAMITSU nine years ago, we've tackled countless exciting challenges and seized remarkable opportunities. We've transformed from a tiny two-person startup into a thriving group of companies with over 100 employees. But at the core our mission stays the same—to use blockchain technology to create the tools to power a more efficient economic system for the world.

As co-founder and Group CEO, leading SORAMITSU has been an extraordinary honor. Our journey at SORAMITSU is transforming the world, and I eagerly anticipate the amazing results we'll achieve over the next nine years!

Dr Makoto Takemiya
Group CEO and Co-Founder of Soramitsu
