Tokyo, Japan – December 19, 2022 – Former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama recently visited the Japanese offices of EC Innovations (ECI), a global leader in language services and technology solutions. Hosted by Longwei Cong, General Manager of ECI Japan, the visit resulted in a preliminary agreement to collaborate on localization strategies. This milestone marks significant progress for ECI’s growth in the Japanese market and opens new opportunities for innovation in language technology and services.

Focusing on Asian Cooperation and Localization

Since stepping down in 2009, Mr. Hatoyama has been a strong advocate for fostering greater cooperation across East Asia, focusing on trade, education, and environmental initiatives. During his visit, he emphasized the importance of localization in today’s rapidly globalizing world.

“In today’s era of accelerated globalization, localization and internationalization services are critical for businesses looking to expand abroad. These services also play a key role in strengthening regional collaboration,” said Mr. Hatoyama.

EC Innovations’ Global Service Offerings

Founded in 1997, EC Innovations has built a global reputation for delivering comprehensive localization and internationalization solutions. By leveraging advanced information and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, ECI serves industries including life sciences, finance, smart manufacturing, video games, and electronics. Over the years, ECI has become a trusted partner for multinational corporations, consistently providing high-quality, customized solutions.

Exploring New Models of Business Cooperation

The visit also provided an opportunity to explore potential collaborations in areas such as game localization, document translation, AI-powered solutions, and machine translation technology. Mr. Hatoyama praised ECI’s technological innovations and its impact on the localization industry.

During the discussion, Longwei Cong, General Manager of ECI Japan, emphasized ECI’s commitment to innovation and customer success. “We remain committed to investing in cutting-edge technology, nurturing industry talent, and delivering exceptional services to help our clients succeed in the competitive global markets,” he said.

This visit marks a new chapter in ECI’s strategic growth and partnership-building efforts in Japan. Mr. Hatoyama also expressed his strong support for ECI’s initiatives in Japan, highlighting the vast potential within the language services industry.

“I see significant opportunities in this field,” he concluded. “By working together, we can provide meaningful support for more companies’ internationalization efforts and further promote regional cooperation.”

Sijie shares how ECI, initially focused on helping Western blue-chip firms enter China, expanded to assisting Chinese tech giants like Tencent and ByteDance in globalizing their products.

Sijie highlighted the challenges of the Asia-Pacific market, where localization maturity still lags that of the US and Europe in certain verticals. However, he sees significant growth potential as industries like e-commerce, AI, and electric vehicles mature.

Regarding language AI, Sijie pointed out that Chinese companies prefer to develop their own solutions, making the market highly competitive. ECI benefits from this research, applying cutting-edge advancements in AI to client projects.

In game localization, Sijie continues to see substantial growth potential. He recognizes that localizing games from China to global markets and vice versa is equally challenging due to differences in player preferences, monetization methods, and cultural contexts.

Sijie gave his insights on the investment landscape, noting that current market valuations are lower due to uncertainty around AI adoption across industries like localization.

Sijie concluded by addressing the balance between AI and human expertise in localization, emphasizing that while AI can drive efficiency, human quality remains superior in many contexts.
