Back in 2010, we unveiled the “SoftBank’s Next 30-Year Vision” to further clarify our unwavering commitment to our founding philosophy, expressed in the Philosophy, Information Revolution—Happiness for everyone. More recently, we started describing ourselves as a Vision Capitalist for the Information Revolution to underscore our role as a strategic investment holding company.

The SoftBank Group Report is the latest in this series of efforts. The new format presents our corporate story, showing how our strategy and business model will deliver our core philosophy and vision, how we will build value, and how we will enable 300 years of sustained growth.
