ORIX Corporation, a diversified financial services group in Japan, and MarketsandMarkets Research, a leading, global market research and consulting company announce the launch of an exclusive, strategic partnership focused on the Japan market. This partnership, which will be run as a joint operation by the two companies, is intended to bring together MnM's rapidly growing Knowledge Store (KS) subscription business in Japan with the brand, in-house teams and vast network of clients serviced by ORIX to rapidly build the leading, next-generation research and insights provider to enterprises in Japan.

Commenting on the partnership, Hiroyuki Ishinaga, deputy head, corporate business headquarters. ORIX, says, "We are very excited to launch this partnership in Japan. Japanese businesses are the third largest investors in the world into technology, but the ROI remains at low levels which is an enormous problem. KS is an advanced intelligence platform which enables clients to significantly improve their ROI of technology investment, with the ability to substantially empower Japanese companies to improve business decision making and outcomes. I am very pleased with the initial test marketing results and look forward to scaling KS rapidly in Japan."
