Today’s society confronts many problems, including climate change, energy issues and a growing elderly population. Companies around the world are tackling fresh challenges in efforts to solve these problems.

In this Doing Good, Doing Well episode, we interview forerunners at foreign-affiliated companies that have established bases in Japan and are working on solutions.

Our guest on this episode is Mr. Keiichiro Araihara, Country Manager of Wise Systems Japan, which is the Japanese affiliate of Wise Systems, a US-based startup. Wise Systems offers a delivery route automation solution, also called Wise Systems, which uses AI technology to create optimal delivery plans and capture real-time situations for the logistics industry.
