Research conducted by Solafune, Inc. has been published in the Ministry of Defense’s National Institute for Defense Studies (NIDS) NIDS Perspective.

Solafune, Inc. (CEO: Ren Uechi) is pleased to announce that insights and data based on research and analysis conducted by the Company have been featured in part of the NIDS Perspective research publication series issued by the National Institute for Defense Studies of Japan’s Ministry of Defense, the country’s only national academic research institution dedicated to security studies.
■ About the Featured Research
The research related to this publication was conducted to understand the perspectives of private-sector experts in Japan and the United States regarding international relations and the security environment surrounding the Indo-Pacific region, and to organize key trends and major discussion points.
This study analyzes a complex set of developments, including rising tensions in U.S.–China relations, the restructuring of alliances and partnerships, and the expansion of security challenges into emerging domains.
■ Solafune’s Contribution
As part of this initiative, Solafune conducted security-related research in Japan and the United States and collected diverse data and information related to security in the Indo-Pacific region. The collected information and data were then analyzed and systematically compiled into a report.
These results have been included in the publication as reference material and utilized to support broader analysis within the research volume.
This inclusion demonstrates that Solafune’s capabilities in research design, data collection, and analytical reporting are valuable even in highly specialized research areas within the security domain.
