10月12日に日本を襲った超大型台風「ハギビス」。私は無事でしたが、翌日には21件の河岸崩壊が報告されました。日本では9月上旬に台風ファクサイが発生したばかりです。ファクサイは、関東地方に上陸した台風の中では、記録的な強さだったと言われています。この台風の影響で、まだ回復できていない人もいます。 最近の台風は非常に強力です。第4次全米気候評価報告書（NCA4）で予測されているように、台風の降雨量や強度が増加しています。これは、地球温暖化の影響で海面温度が上昇していることが原因です。

We launched a new project working with a US-based M&A advisory firm. In this project, we help Japanese companies find opportunities for investment in and partnerships with foreign technology companies. It includes setting up of joint ventures to manufacture products of such technology companies, and also do sales and marketing in Japan and other Asian countries.  First of all, we have started by introducing two technology companies. One provides a full-body, autonomously powered robotic exoskeleton. The other provides 3D metal printers and printed products. Both are promising opportunities! So, please contact us for further information.
