■Comment from Minoru Hoshina

I’ve joined Cogent Labs because I had the desire to launch a world-class IT company in Japan leveraging advanced technologies. I hope to promote collaboration among Japanese partners, and establish a foundation to become a “Japanese” global company while contributing to our customers’ businesses through AI technology.
