At One&Co, the coworking space opened by JR East in Singapore, we strive to be the business platform to connect Japan and Singapore. We are excited to announce that Mr. Yasuji Seki, a respectable business strategist focusing on the Southeast Asia area, will be joining One&Co as our adviser.
Mr. Seki has had a wide variety of experiences such as being the Senior Market Officer at International Enterprise Singapore and the commercial attaché at the Commercial Section of the Embassy of the Republic of Singapore in Tokyo.
A message from Mr. Seki
A great “place” attracts great “people”. In a place where great “people” gather, fantastic “ideas” are born. These ideas can enrich and engage everyone and eventually lead to great things. I always strive to create a great “place”. So when One&Co was launched in Singapore back in August 2019, I was very interested in its concept and role.
I have decided to join One&Co as an advisor in the hope that I can use my experience in the region to contribute to building a deeper relationship between Japan and Singapore, as well as Southeast Asia. As a first step, we are going to launch new content (coming soon!) where we will have a brainstorming session with people from various industries and business categories. I am looking forward to the fruitful discussion and seeing how things develop from the wonderful “place” of One&Co.
