Dynamic Africa

The other day I have experienced one of the best seminars for the past few years. That was named “AAIC Africa Business Seminar”. (AAIC: https://www.aa-ic.com/en/about-en)From the beginning till the end, I was kept positively surprised and shocked by various presentations/slides/speeches on the vast potential of Africa and ongoing dynamic activities. I also realized not a few challenging issues to be solved. This seminar was a great teacher for me. Here are some of the examples I was especially impressed with. Most of their original concepts were born in advanced nations like USA. But the services are modified to best fit for Africa. That’s how those services are soaring. 1) Mobile

Resolution 2020

We, mofiria, have entered into the 10th year of operation.Thank you so much for your continued support, advice and cooperation. As a technology venture company, we have challenged many things. Some did have pretty big potential risks.But we did try, because we know “No challenge no win”.

Biometric Era

You may know the company, Gartner, the leading global research and advisory group, especially on High-tech. Their “Hype Cycle” provides annually a graphic representation of the birth and penetration of new technologies and applications. (Hype Cycle Research Methodology) In October last year, the Gartner Hype Cycle 2018 was released and biometrics is positioned on the “Slope of Enlightenment” stage where methodologies and best practices start developing, and it predicts that the social penetration of biometric services is expected in 2 to 5 years.This massage has encouraged us a lot. Coincidentally, many trials for the cashless-economy have become broadcast in Japan. Those trials involve biometric ID confirmation. “Cashless” with biometric ID

8-Year Anniversary for mofiria

On December 6th,2018, Today we have 8-year anniversary of mofiria Corporation. Taking this opportunity, we want to express our sincere appreciation to all the people who have supported us, worked with us, and advised us. Sorry this is written in Japanese, but it is a kind of “my eternal reference”. It is an impressive documentary about Sony’s CCD development history.Sony’s CCD eventually made success after the tough 8-year of blood, sweat and tears in its R&D. The author is Mr. Yoshiyuki Kawana, one of core engineers of CCD development.Most precious lesson for me is “Never give up as long as you believe the future benefit of this new technology”. Recalling

10 Years After The Financial Crisis 2008

The other day a broadcast said that 10 years have passed since the Financial Crisis happened, which reminds me of its pretty heavy impact on the mofiria operation at that time.In 2008 we were with Sony Corporation and in the incubation phase seeking for any business opportunities inside/outside SONY. ・One of our first development trials was to be embedded into a personal computer. We set up the joint development project with a PC team and made the product planning and the mass production design together. However, when the Financial Crisis occurred, the global IT market also collapsed, and the business of the PC team immediately got worse and their next
