■ The Zodiac of 2026

The zodiac sign for 2026 is the "Year of the Fire Horse" (Hinoe-uma).
"Hinoe" represents the sun, signifying a year where things come to light and progress with great momentum.
The "Horse" is a symbol of energy and action.
Together, this suggests a year where the initiatives and challenges we have been preparing will take shape and produce results with speed.
At OST, we intend to move beyond the foundational stage and make this a year dedicated to execution and delivering results.

■ Social Climate

The global situation remains uncertain.
The business environment is becoming increasingly complex, with geopolitical risks, energy issues, and the need to address climate change.
On the other hand, digital technologies, led by Generative AI, have entered a stage where they are transforming society and industrial structures themselves.
We are now in an era where "how we use technology and how we create value" determines a company's competitiveness.
In this environment, it is more essential than ever for us to be a company that continues to provide value to society by combining technical expertise with the power of people.

■ Retrospective of OST and Outlook for 2026

In 2025, under our 23rd-term business plan, we took on many challenges and made continuous improvements toward achieving our goals.
As our workforce surpassed 200 employees, our organization gained depth and diversity.
Simultaneously, establishing frameworks to remain an "organization that delivers results" and "continues to grow" became a more vital theme.
We have positioned 2026 as the "Year of Reaping Results" from the measures we have implemented so far, and we will move forward with the execution of our 24th-term business plan.

■ This Year’s Slogan

"Execute with Purpose!!"
Beyond just sharing our vision, we must execute with strong will and connect our actions to tangible results.
Each individual will act with a sense of ownership, making this the year that OST as a whole advances to the next stage.

In 2026, all our employees will move forward in the same direction, continuing to embrace challenges and growth.
We look forward to your continued support throughout the coming year.

We held the "OST Fes" for the first time in a while, and it was a huge success!
