Comment from Kei Nishida, Representative Director, Kabushiki Kaisha Sengoku
We have entered into a sponsorship agreement with NEC. On behalf of Sengoku Gaming, I would like to express my sincere gratitude. NEC is a company with global business operations in a wide range of fields, including information technology (IT) and social infrastructure. As they are also promoting smart city projects with the keyword "locally-oriented," I believe we can fuse this with the "regional contribution" through esports that we value so much.
