Hiroshi Ozaki has abundant practical experience and wide-ranging knowledge in corporate management and organizational management as a manager of a company based in Kansai. He also serves as chairman of the Osaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and developed and implemented a medium-term plan from FY 2017 aimed at promoting the economic growth of Osaka and Kansai. In the Medium-Term Management Plan, he is focusing on promoting the life science industry. We expect him to draw on this wealth of experience and knowledge to make management judgments with an emphasis on objectivity and neutrality. We therefore elected him as an outside director.
