“The UAE has consistently demonstrated that it is a market built for the long term. Its economic resilience, transparent regulatory environment, and visionary leadership continue to inspire international investor confidence. Kasumigaseki’s decision to deepen its regional presence here is a strong endorsement of the UAE’s long-term potential, and we are proud to support the company’s continued growth in this market,” Mohammad Khalifa Majid Alabbar Alfalasi, Chairman said in a statement.
“The UAE represents the cornerstone of our ambitions across the Middle East. We have spent years building local knowledge and developing a meaningful presence in this market, and today marks an important milestone as we formalize our regional platform. Our vision is to bring the same disciplined investment philosophy, operational excellence, and long-term perspective that have defined our success in Japan while building enduring partnerships across the region,” Tatsuya Suzuki, CEO further explaied.
“Dubai offers a highly attractive environment for long-term investment and sustainable business growth. Our objective is to apply Japanese standards of quality, innovation and operational excellence while building businesses that create lasting value for investors, partners and the communities we serve. Deepening our presence in the UAE is only the beginning of our long-term commitment to the region,” Kosuke Urasawa, Manage added.
The company was founded in 2011 and upgraded to the Prime Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange in 2023, with a portfolio spanning logistics, hotel, healthcare, fund management, and overseas investment.
