“Sharing Knowledge and Excitement through Innovation”
This is Impress Group’s philosophy.

As information and communication technology keep improving, every new day brings new possibilities that were once impossible with analog technology. We can now obtain information on anything quickly, cheaply, and accurately. In the near future, it won’t be just information that we can upload to digital networks, but also knowledge and wisdom. When that happens, people all over the world will be able to benefit, either directly or indirectly.

Amid such a digital revolution, I hope that Impress Group will keep thinking of new ideas from customers’ perspective and create interesting things using technology and networks. That way, we will be able to share our wisdom and excitement with everyone in the world—ordinary citizens who have become prosumers, the increasing numbers of people transmitting information, and businesses and organizations developing capabilities in the information industry.

Impress Group has always provided high value-added content and services that meet the needs of the era, whether it is through print publications such as books and magazines or digital content such as websites and internet media. We will continue to increase value as an enterprise by strengthening our market orientation and taking on the challenge of creating new media unrestricted by existing journalism frameworks.
