Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) announced that Takeshi Koga has been appointed as its new Country Manager for Japan, effective June 15, 2026, in order to further expand its business and strengthen its structure in the Japanese market. In addition, to further strengthen its commitment to the Japanese market, Strategy will be relocating its head office to “Akasaka Green Cross” and commencing operations there from July 1, 2026.

Our company boasts a history of over 30 years as a dedicated Business Intelligence (BI) vendor, with our Japanese office established in 2003. In 2025, we rebranded as “Strategy,” and in 2022, we entered a new stage as the world’s first AI-powered data utilization platform. In today’s market, where the impact of AI on data and analytics is expanding, the semantic layer, which has been our strength since our founding, is once again attracting significant attention.

In recent years, many companies have faced challenges such as data silos and AI hallucination. To address these issues, we have announced a “Universal Semantic Layer” that works in any environment. This technology enhances data reliability as a company’s “single data source” and has the following features:
