Tsunagaru Edutech is a Fukuoka-based digital DX Consulting company founded by Pablo Riveros, a Chilean with strong international industry-academic background. His company has managed a lot of international projects with a solid evidence-based approach. Their solutions revolve around digital transformation (DX), educational technologies, and learning management systems.
Why did you start this business?
The story goes all the way back to 2015 in Australia. I was working at a university and did a little bit of consulting at that time. Four years later, with the accumulation of knowledge and skills in education and digital learning, I moved to Japan. When I attended a seminar at Kyushu University, a professor told me that the skills that I have would be valuable and helpful to Japan. That was when I realized there is an opportunity for me to build my own business here. Hence, in April 2021, Tsunagaru Edutech was founded.
Share with us about your main service.
We are a DX (digital learning) consulting business with the focus to provide micro-training for those who would like to improve their digital skills. We are helping people to understand the concept of technology in DX such as digital tool operations, creating online courses, and how to collect learning analytics. As a startup business, we are working in different verticals, covering not only e-learning, but also e-health, and e-commerce.
What keeps you going when things get tough?
The visualization of how impactful we can be and how many people we can reach if the company grows. Japan is the base of our company, but it does not stop us plan on reaching other parts of the world. As a part of the UNESCO Global Task Force in 2019, we are here to support countries to improve their online education. For me, it is not always about the money, but about what we can give back to society through our business.
What is your hope for the future of your business?
I would like to create an ever-connected society. Nowadays, it is not only about smart society nor smart cities, smart learning is also as important. I realize that there is a gap between industries and education because what students are currently learning now will most probably be gone by the time they graduate. As we are living in a very advanced society, we hope to fill in the gap with our solutions by building a better digital education.
