In line with its philosophy of "to help create economies in which nature and technology are in harmony," IHI is promoting a forest consulting business with Sumitomo Forestry to contribute to solving a major social issue facing nature: climate change adaptation and mitigation.
The main reason why I wanted to talk to Recursive was that their core mission is to contribute to solving the SDGs. At our first web meeting, we learned that Recursive is building an international team rich in diversity with sharp people who share our core mission, and they are running their business without external funding. We started a joint project on the forest digital twin.
At first, we were both groping and had a difficult time, but considering the results we can achieve together globally in the future, I believe we have found a great partner at the right time.
