Message from Leadership

Kaori Hirata
Senior General Manager, New Business Development, PT. AEON MALL INDONESIA

For many years, AEON MALL has developed shopping malls in Japan and other Asian countries and has enriched the lives of local communities and customers. Since opening the first shopping mall in Indonesia in 2015, it has been loved by local customers and expanded its business. Although the demands of people's lives have changed with the times, the delight of gathering and having a meal with familiy, and the joy and gralness of reuniting and chatting with friends remains unchanged.
We will evolve shopping malls, where people gather, into places that are more comfortable and convenient to use with digital tools through support and co-creation with startups.
