Message from the Director

Towards better educational and learning environments

Our corporate philosophy is “Creativity and Contribution.” This refers to our commitment to benefitting society by maximizing the unique strengths of Casio to create new markets that meet the changing needs of society.

Casio has been supporting those who learn by digitizing universal concepts, such as numbers and words. Casio’s education business started in 1972, when it introduced Japan’s first scientific calculator, the fx-1. Since that time, we have kept “Boost your Curiosity” as our core product development philosophy.

The origin of learning is curiosity. From curiosity comes interest. We believe that these are important factors for enriching one’s life. Supplying products and services such as scientific calculators, electronic dictionaries, and education software, we are aiming to achieve a world where anyone can find learning enjoyable. In order to realize this, we will continue to develop products using Casio’s unique technologies from the perspective of each learner, with strong feelings and unique ideas.

In addition, together with everyone involved in education, we will revitalize the learning landscape, and at the same time, we will not only provide products, but also develop tools and services to connect people involved in education to each other.

Now, based on the statement of our education business, “Boost Your Curiosity”, we are continuing our support of the places of learning to reach 22 million people in 100 countries worldwide (as of FY 2023) through our scientific calculators, electronic dictionaries, and education software. In the future, we promise to pursue the ideal of “Boost Your Curiosity” and provide products and services of value.
