We will continue to pursue the possibility of new mobility with the Japanese culture-centric mindset on our path to becoming a global company. I understand it is a big responsibility to talk about these ideals; I recognize that it is necessary to have the ability to deliver, so I will devote myself to this vision every day.”

Daisuke Katano, who is CEO of Aerwins’ subsidiary in Japan, A.L.I. Technologies, added, “My dream in life is to create a company that will take the world by storm with the power of technology originating in Japan. With this listing in the United States, I believe that we have finally reached the starting point of our global expansion.”
