The Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun, Ltd. is currently embarking on a new chapter. In November 2015 we joined the ranks of centenarian companies. Over the last 100 years we have stuck steadfastly to our principles of contributing to nation-building through industrial and technological progress, contributing to the development of Japanese science and technologies, working to strengthen competition in the industrial sector, and helping invigorate small- and medium-sized companies. While maintaining this proud tradition, we now aim to further enhance our function as an organization disseminating comprehensive industrial information, keeping the newspaper as our core medium, while applying fresh new perspectives in business areas such as digital media, exhibitions and events, publication, and education.
