The Canon MJ Group was established to sell Canon cameras and office equipment. The Group diversified and enhanced its sales channels by establishing sales companies and partnering with retailers. Subsequently, a system development company joined the Group, and the Group started its software business in earnest. This marked the beginning of our autonomous business development. To meet the diverse needs of our customers, the Group has been expanding its business operations. We began selling IT equipment and networks and have extended our services to support the entire IT system lifecycle. This includes planning, design, development, construction, maintenance, and operation. Through these efforts, the Group has enhanced its functions as a trading company. With an enterprising spirit inherent in Canon's culture, the Group has listened to the market and customer feedback, integrated unique companies, and worked to create synergies.

The Group is dedicated to exploring advancing technologies and business ideas and implementing them socially to generate new value through open innovations with startups, educational institutions, government agencies, and other stakeholders, while establishing an innovation ecosystem.

Canon MJ is accelerating the creation of new businesses by establishing corporate venture capital (CVC) funds and implementing acceleration programs and engaging in collaborations between industry, government, and academia.
