Guiding Unity

Symbols of Connection and Growth

Our logo features a compass pointing northeast, symbolizing two key aspects of Next Level. A compass because we help you find your way through the business landscapes of our region, pointed to the North-East, because we’re based in North-East Asia. Secondly, the northwest direction traditionally signifies growth and progress, embodying our commitment to driving our clients forward and helping them achieve new heights.

The Tatara bridge on our homepage, linking the island of Shikoku, to Japan’s main island of Honshu, has a special significance for us too. It is also the sister bridge of the Normandy Bridge in France, where many of our clients are based.
Just like this bridge, we create relevant connections for our Clients, helping them to reach new heights.

Joined the ‘Akasaka Aoyama Beautiful Town, Manner Town’ Initiative

Sep 26, 2024 –We were happy to once again take part in the ‘Akasaka Aoyama Beautiful Town, Manner Town’ initiative, organized by the Minato City Akasaka Regional Office. This month, we cleaned the area around Akasaka Mitsuke Station, contributing to efforts to keep our neighborhood clean and safe. It was rewarding to be part of this important community effort. The event is scheduled to take place every month, except for July and August. If you live or work in Minato City, why not join us next time?
