Nowcast Inc., a Finatext Group company that realizes embedded finance through the provision of next-generation financial infrastructure, today announced that Tsutomu Watanabe has been appointed as a New Director.
Since our founding in 2015, we have developed various indexes and services using alternative data such as POS data, credit card payment data, and job advertisement data in order to grasp economic and market trends that cannot be fully captured by traditional data such as official statistics. Currently, we are expanding our business into new areas such as commercial real estate, taking advantage of the know-how we have cultivated in building data infrastructure and utilizing generative AI.
Watanabe, who has extensive knowledge, experience and a proven track record in economic analysis using alternative data and is the developer of the University of Tokyo Daily Price Index (currently Nikkei CPINow) and our company founder, has been appointed as a director. We will improve our data analysis capabilities and strongly promote DX (digital transformation) in a wide range of fields, including domestic and international companies, financial institutions, and local governments.
