Comment from Mr. Seki, CEO of aiESG

We are very honored to be selected for the "High Growth Program 2025". We hope to make this selection a major step forward in further accelerating the growth of aiESG.

Founded in July 2022 and now in its fourth year, aiESG provides ESG analysis and assessment services and approaches sales to major companies and municipalities, mainly TSE prime listed companies.

For a startup like us, it is not easy to create contacts with major companies. This program provides us with a wide range of support that would have been difficult to achieve on our own, such as participation in trade shows and opportunities for business meetings. In addition, by providing us with opportunities to speak at major events, the program has helped us to increase awareness of our business and the importance of ESG assessments.

We will continue to strengthen our ties with Fukuoka City, FGN, and the Fukuoka startup community, including companies selected for the High Growth Program, with the aim of becoming Fukuoka's representative startups.
