``Nikkei WOMAN'', a women's magazine published by Nikkei BP that supports women's careers and lifestyles, has 10 winners of ``Women of the Year 2019'', which recognizes women who have achieved remarkable success in various fields. We have decided.

Our representative, Hirano, received the “Woman of the Year 2019 Innovative Entrepreneur Award.”

The following is an excerpt from Nikkei BP's release.

"Woman of the Year" is
1. Presenting role models for working women
2. Shedding light on the achievements of individuals that are often hidden within organizations
3. Capturing the brunt of changes in the times through active women
This award has been held every year since 1999, and this year marks the 20th time.

"Nikkei WOMAN" has supported working women since its launch in 1988. We would like to continue to support the women who will lead the times by recognizing women who are active in society through the "Woman of the Year" award. The January issue of Nikkei WOMAN, released on December 7, 2018, includes an introduction to the award winners and details of the judging results.
