SoftBank Group Corp.

Since our founding, the SoftBank Group has believed that technology is key to building a more connected, empowered, and joyful world. We began as a pioneer in the Information Revolution, which, through multiple paradigm shifts, has already transformed how we communicate in ways that few could have imagined decades ago.

We identify four of these major shifts since the internet was created. For all of these shifts, we have been at the forefront, adapting our business model accordingly.

Swipe through to see more!
First, the PC #Internet Revolution brought internet access into our homes, and then the Mobile Internet Revolution brought it into our pockets.

Next, the Internet of Things (#IoT) Internet Revolution, made life more convenient by connecting various everyday devices, such as cars, home appliances, etc. to the Internet.

Now, we are witnessing the fourth, the "#AI Revolution," the most significant shift of the Information Revolution so far that is poised to redefine all industries.
There is one major factor shared by these shifts. Each was brought about by advancements in hardware technology, specifically the computer chips within the machines. We believe the next 20 years will bring greater innovation and disruption than the past 300 years, with further advancements in computer chips surely leading the way.

Check out our history to see more on how we have led the Information Revolution so far, and follow to keep up with how we lead going forward:

What kind of world do we want to realize in 30 years and 300 years from now?
At the announcement of the 'SoftBank Next 30-Year Vision' in 2010, Masayoshi Son stated his most important role as the founder is to design the DNA of SoftBank Group Corp., which will last at least 300 years.

But it's hard to know or even imagine how technology and lifestyles will change over such a time span. Looking back over the last 300 years, machines caused a paradigm shift in the Industrial Revolution that dramatically changed the way we live. Within the next 300 years, we will experience the greatest paradigm shift in human history through advances in technology.

SoftBank Group Corp. strives to accelerate this by being a leading technology investor with a steadfast commitment to a more sustainable future.

Strictness (厳)
The final component of the #leadership layer in Son’s Framework is strictness. 

There is a saying in #Japanese: "To sacrifice your love for justice." A leader must be able to be strict towards their subordinates for the company's good, while still maintaining their benevolence.

There is one more layer of Son’s Framework to introduce. Follow to find out more.

What are the values that guide the actions of those working in the SoftBank Group?

To thrive in an ever-changing business environment, we believe these 5 values help us surmount any challenge we face.

In the first of a five-part series, we’d like to introduce the first value which is “No. 1.” By aiming to be the #best at what you do, you can become No. 1, which then opens more paths to further challenges and growth. Being the best is no easy task, but the journey is truly enjoyable when overcoming each challenge faced along the way.

These values will help guide us in an ever-changing business environment. Be sure to follow to learn about the other four.

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year from SoftBank Group Corp.!

As we venture into 2024, our commitment to bringing #happiness to everyone through the Information Revolution remains unwavering. In everything we do, we aim to build a more connected, empowered, and joyful world.
