The new Digital Company will lead deeper collaboration among internal and external stakeholders, accelerate our uptake of digital technologies, and enhance our client services.”

Since it was established in April 2019 with the aim of co-creating the best services and an ideal future together with clients, the Future Innovation Company has focused on planning and developing digital services, supporting Nomura’s digital transformation, and exploring new business opportunities.
