Representative Member CEO 堀木遼

Technology exists
to protect people.

I began launching ventures while still at university, founding companies in web-service development and corporate consulting, and have served as their representative. In parallel I worked in corporate planning and as CFO at IT firms, learning the discipline of building an organization from both the financial and business sides. Since then I have continued to lead several companies as their representative.

Through that journey I came to keenly feel how little urgency Japan has about cybersecurity. The more business crosses borders, the more fragile defenses threaten the very survival of the business. Meanwhile, the world has specialists who keep honing their craft in the harsh environment of real combat.

Building on the trust we have cultivated with Ukraine since before the war, I founded Vyshytech with overseas partners. Front-line knowledge and technology, carefully localized for Japan’s systems and culture, we transform into the “defense” of companies and society. That, we believe, is our role.

True to the spirit of Vyshyvanka — the protective embroidery embedded in our name — we do not let technology threaten human culture; we respect it and gently embrace it. We uphold this stance and devote ourselves wholeheartedly to leaving a peaceful digital society for the next generation.
