President's Message
Contributing to solving issues in society today through engaging in communication
Congrès Inc.’s corporate philosophy has 3 basic principles: 1. Commitment to putting quality first, 2.
Contribution to society through regional development and internationalization and 3. Capable staff gathered
together as part of the Congrès team.
Since our founding in 1990, we have been consistently engaged in communication, dedicating our efforts to
choreographing fora where people come together and interact, in the hope that these connections will serve to
promote mutual understanding around the globe.
One of our core businesses focuses on supporting and fostering MICE* events that are fora for communication.
We manage meetings & events that debate and identify solutions to issues in society today, ranging from
management of international conferences between governments, to medical and academic association meetings that
publish cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs and research outcomes, which in turn lead to development of
related fields and industries. Managing these kinds of meetings, we can act to advance interaction and
exchange of ideas between people, which are indispensable to this process.
Congrès is pursuing sustainable growth of our business and employees, supporting fora for communication in
various ways – spaces where new knowledge is generated and through which innovations are pioneered to benefit
future generations. We are privileged to contribute in this way to achieving progress in academic, scientific
and industrial fields, in solving issues in today’s society and in realizing a society advocated in the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) promise of “Leave No One Behind.”
Furthermore, Congrès subscribes to the Japan Business Federation’s (Keidanren) “Society 5.0 for SDGs” proposal and intends to proactively take on the challenge of creating new methods and fora for communication for the future, through which we hope to contribute to healthy and sustainable development for humankind.
