We at ANS Associates have launched and are operating an information site ANSLists, which introduces "friendly" companies and organizations that aim for a sustainable and environmentally friendly society that would have to be human and community friendly,too. We are convinced that the corporate activities of the 21st century will be carried out by these "friendly" companies.
Through these activities, we strongly felt the need for an information support site to introduce Japanese SMEs with excellent technologies to overseas markets. Hence, since 2007, we have been operated two projects: ANSListsβ and ANSLists Video (also known as CxO Interview).
ANSLists aforementioned is an extension of the this effort adding our brief comment. The primary focus of our current activities at ANS Associates lies in the continuous and progressive development and operation of ANSLists.
