\r\n\r\nComment by Suguru Miyake, President and Representative Director of the Company<\/strong>
\r\nThe creation of Batonz was inspired around 15 years ago while I was in the U.S. Shocked to see how many M&A deals involving SMEs were being routinely conducted online, I was inspired to create this new kind of infrastructure in Japan too. Our desire is to save the small businesses that preserve the culture and technologies that underpin life in Japan\u2019s rural communities from going out of business. We hope to see BATONZ grow into a valuable tool for achieving this goal.
