Skygate CEO exchanges views with the Minister of Defense

Skygate Technologies Inc. CEO Takanori Awatsu exchanged views with Japan's Minister of Defense, Shinjiro Koizumi, and the Commissioner of the Acquisition, Technology & Logistics Agency (ATLA), Hajime Aoyagi. He presented Alayasiki and its interoperability, and shared perspectives on how Japan's defense-technology startups can grow.

Domestic development for national security

Alayasiki is an integrated cross-domain command-and-control solution that provides situational awareness and decision-making support across multiple domains. Because it is developed in Japan, sensitive defense information stays under national control — the same sovereign control Alayasiki is built to give every partner nation over its own data.

The exchange also explored how ATLA's initiatives can help offset the limited operational experience that startups tend to have, turning promising technology into capability that meets real defense needs. Skygate reaffirmed its commitment to building defense technology that Japan can rely on with confidence.
