Established in 2001, JSAT International Inc. is seeking fresh investments that would allow it to expand its market presence, accelerate growth and strengthen its reputation and identity as a leading operator of communication satellites in the world while supporting media platform services in Japan.
While parent company Sky Perfect JSAT Corp. conducts most of its business in Japan and the Asia-Pacific region with a variety of customers, including government agencies, JSAT International focuses on the U.S. market via its Horizons 1 and Horizons 2 satellites. It has expanded into the Asia-Pacific via its Horizons 3e satellite.
“The Japan-U.S. collaboration is an important model for us, as it helps expand and develop into the space sector market. That is why we have tried to increase our presence in the United States with partners who fully understand our capabilities.” said JSAT International President and COO Yo Shimizu.
“We are happy to further partner with companies to increase our presence, including with media business companies. We continue to see lots of new technologies develop in a variety of fields led by U.S. companies and the government. In the past 30 to 40 years, JSAT has also accumulated its space business experience through partnerships with U.S. manufacturers, launch service providers, earth observation service operators (and more) to provide space service offerings,” he added.
As more governments look to expand their use of outer space, JSAT International believes that allied governments and commercial partnerships in Japan and the United States will be very important to support future space market expansion.
