Here is a summary of the New Year’s remarks given by the principal of the Global Sky Group, Mr. Ko Nagata, for the group’s staff:

Happy New Year! I express my sincere gratitude to everyone for their efforts amidst the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Global Sky Group, with the mission “Connecting the world to a brighter future,” is now in its 11th business year. Reflecting on the past decade, we have grown by investing in education, food, and environmental sectors. The pandemic has reaffirmed that our value lies in “connecting people to people.” We have strengthened our investment consultation to provide global “investment opportunities,” focusing on Japan and Australia. Leveraging our network, we aim to create investment and collaboration projects with expertise in the Japanese and Australian markets, highlighting “Japanese talent and technology, Australian field, and Asian market expansion.”

This year marks the third year of our five-year plan initiated in 2021. Our basic plan remains unchanged. Our education business will enhance its financial foundation through qualitative improvements, and our food business will boost customer satisfaction and productivity, seeking partnerships with leading companies. We recognise the importance of professional development and will continue to develop talent, fostering an environment for individuals to develop the “power to pioneer the future.”

Business Initiatives:

Global Sky Education Group:

1. Expand world-standard education programs based on “Learning through Play.”

2. Renovate facilities to realise “Play & Learn in Nature.”

3. Increase revenue through the Hello Kids program, involving parent-child study abroad and short-term childcare experiences.

Terra Group:

1. Transition into a food company conveying Oceania’s food culture to Japan.

2. Provide high customer satisfaction in food services.

3. Develop products leveraging a close relationship with Oceania.

4. Enhance customer base through “Experience Australia and New Zealand (ExpANZ)” activities, promoting food, wine, bush tucker, Aboriginal art, and tourism.

Investment Consultation:

1. Support the entry of Japanese and/or Australian businesses in various sectors like education, food (agriculture, forestry, fisheries), tourism, consumer goods, and retail.

2. Connect people with people, match business and business.

Let’s embrace the Year of the Rabbit and make it a year of leaps and bounds. Wishing you and your families health and continued success in the coming year.

Thank you.
