Greetings from Chairman

Founded in 1948, the Japan Electric Measuring Instruments Manufacturers' Association (JEMIMA) will celebrate its 75th anniversary in 2023. Since its founding, JEMIMA has contributed to the development of society and industry in a wide range of fields, from R&D, engineering, manufacturing and quality control, by providing mother tools called "Electrical Measuring Instruments."
Covid-19 pandemic, global warming and needs of carbon free energies are affecting the stable growth of the industrial world. JEMIMA promotes digital transformation to improve the resilience of members, aiming for a new stage of industrial association activities. In order to further develop JEMIMA, we will focus on three measures which are described in our original philosophy.

First, we will promote "From Digital Transformation to Green Transformation: Contribution to the realization of a carbon neutral society."
During the pandemic, JEMIMA has promoted digital transformation initiatives as a priority measure and has been actively working on the evolution of industrial association activities. During this time, the world has become active in specific activities concentrated in the goal of realizing a carbon neutral society. There is no doubt that electric measuring instruments are an essential tool in this trend, and JEMIMA promotes the collection of various information about carbon neutral technology from all over the world. We will continue to work to provides customers with more solutions from the electric measurement industry.

Next, we would like to "raise recognition of the electric measuring instrument industry."
In order to further develop our industry and to supply more mother tools to various areas, we will actively distribute information about us to a wide range of users through seminars or other activities. Also, for JEMIMA, exhibitions are one of the very important ways of communication. Therefore, the "Exhibition Business Study Task Force" established within the JEMIMA secretariat will reconstruct the strategy of exhibition including both IIFES and Measurement and Control Show OSAKA. In addition, we will appeal to students who are expected to play an active role in the electric measuring instrument industry in the future.

Finally, we will focus on "improving the satisfaction of all members of JEMIMA."
For the sustainable development of JEMIMA, it is necessary for all member companies to feel the benefit of joining, and to communicate to inform our value to the companies that have not yet joined. To that end, we will revitalize the activities of the divisions and committees, while enhancing the global activity, the international standardization activity and the servitization business study task force. Each committee including the JEMIMA Board of Directors, the planning & steering council, the corresponding divisions and the secretariat will work together to closely examine the situation and make maximum efforts to improve the satisfaction of all members of JEMIMA so that it will be meaningful to the member companies to be with JEMIMA.

We are convinced that the above three measures are all in line with the current challenges of "enhancing the value of the industrial association," which has been the goal of JEMIMA's previous chairpersons. While quickly adjusting these measures as needed, we will strive to make the industrial association's position as an absolute contributor to member companies, customers, and society. 　
We appreciate your continuous support and kind cooperation.
