Organization and Systems Bringing Real Estate and Technology Together

The real estate industry is one with various laws and regulations,including the Real Estate Transaction Business Law,and many industry-specific customs.

About Digital Transformation Stock Selection

Rapid advances in information technology have ushered in an era in which industrial structure and business models change with unprecedented speed. In this time of great change,for Japanese companies to succeed in the face of intense international competition,it is important to make strategic and aggressive investments in IT that will lead to medium- to long-term improvement in corporate value and enhanced competitiveness,not stopping at investments to increase the efficiency or convenience of traditional internal operations. Against this backdrop,the Ministry of Economy,Trade and Industry came up with the Digital Transformation Stock Selection (DX Stocks) in which they select companies from among those listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange that are aggressively utilizing IT to create new value and bring about management reform and improvement of profit levels and productivity.

The list has previously been published five times under the name of "Competitive IT Strategy Companies." However,based on the recent global trend of digital transformation (DX) leading to new growth and greater competitiveness with fundamental transformation of business models,which is predicated on digital technology,the focus of the 2020 list was narrowed to DX,and the name was changed.
