Soracom announced the evolution of the company’s global vision and mission, as CEO and Co-Founder Ken Tamagawa delivered a speech at Soracom Discovery 2025 reflecting on 10 years of growth. He announced its new global mantra, ‘Making Things Happen, For a World That Works Together’.
Over years of working to support customers in healthcare, retail, payments, agriculture, energy, transportation, and more to launch and scale new connected experiences, the company has evolved from its original mission of providing technology-forward, Cloud-native cellular connectivity for IoT.
Soracom was first founded in 2015 by a small, entrepreneurial team with deep expertise in Cloud services and telecommunications. In its early years, the company focused on the IoT connectivity needs of sophisticated innovators and startups with Cloud-native, pay-as-you-go services designed to support accelerated cycles without long-term commitments. This initial focus on individual IoT developers and small teams was represented in its original tag line, ‘You Create, We Connect’.
In recent years, Soracom has extended its connectivity offering to deliver leading-edge solutions including eSIM, iSIM, 5G, and satellite, enhanced its connectivity management platform to include new GenAI-based network management and data analysis capabilities, grown to serve multiple deployments of more than 1 million devices, and expanded its portfolio of customers and partners to serve global enterprises across industries including Hitachi, Nicigas, Sony, Suzuki, Toyota and more.
“Soracom was founded as a catalyst for innovation. That began with making connectivity accessible to innovators in IoT, and continued as we integrated hyperscale platforms, public cloud resources, and nonterrestrial connectivity,” said Kenta Yasukawa, CTO and Co-Founder, Soracom. “More recently, Soracom has begun to establish itself as a real-world AI super connector, making GenAI capabilities easily accessible to IoT networks, device data, and even offline data pools. Even as our scope expands to uncover the intelligence in things, our mission remains the same: delivering emergent technology directly into the hands of the companies and teams creating new experiences today. Together, Soracom, our customers, and our partners are truly Making Things Happen.”
