On Friday, June 7, Mr. Yasuhiro Takami, Senior Advisor to the Minister of Defense, visited Metro Weather.

This visit was in preparation for our upcoming participation in EUROSATORY 2024, a five-day international defense and security exhibition to be held in Paris, France starting Monday, June 17. As part of the Japan Ministry of Defense Acquisition, Technology & Logistics Agency (ATLA) booth, Metro Weather will be exhibiting its technologies. During the visit, we presented our business activities at our headquarters and provided a hands-on demonstration of our Doppler LiDAR system at our Quality Control Center, where research and development are conducted.

At the headquarters, our CEO, Jun-ichi Furumoto, explained the business domains Metro Weather aims to pursue and the R&D initiatives we are advancing. Mr. Takami listened attentively, taking notes with a serious expression, and asked insightful questions about our technologies and business. The discussion extended beyond the scheduled time, resulting in a lively and productive exchange of ideas.

During the tour of the Quality Control Center, Mr. Takami observed our operational Doppler LiDAR system and showed great interest in the real-time wind condition data it generates.

At EUROSATORY 2024, Metro Weather will proudly showcase its technologies and products to the global audience. We remain committed to pushing boundaries so that Japanese startups can stand at the forefront of innovation on the world stage.
