the need for further comprehensiveness and wider area management of thewater and sewage businesses increases due to decreases in local government
revenues and shortages of engineers caused by a decreasing population. In
addition to the METAWATER Group's mechanical and electrical technology,
operation and maintenance know-how, and abundant experience withpublic-private partnerships, we are working on solving these issues by building
our own ICT platform and management system.
In the North American and European markets, we are developing businesses
centered around group companies and partner companies, while in markets such as
those of emerging countries we are promoting initiatives tailored to the local needs.
