Interview with Mr Sakae Morita, General<br />

Manager, Marketing and Mr Kentaro<br />

Fukuta of ELYSIUM Co., Ltd. Japan<br />

What are your impressions of the <strong>EnginSoft</strong> International<br />

Conference 2009?<br />

Mr. Morita: Indeed, we brought back many new <strong>di</strong>scoveries<br />

from our first participation in the <strong>EnginSoft</strong> Conference. It<br />

has been particularly interesting to see that there are many<br />

joint efforts and activities between industry and the<br />

academia and that lots of successes are actually linked to<br />

these collaborations. Although we can see similar efforts in<br />

Japan, there is still a huge gap between industry and the<br />

universities. The attitude and openness in Italy and in the<br />

surroun<strong>di</strong>ng countries in Europe seem to be very good.<br />

Mr.Fukuta: Our time at the Conference in Bergamo was an<br />

extremely significant experience, more than I had anticipated<br />

before our trip to Europe. Much to our surprise, we met many<br />

participants from all over the world. This is one of the<br />

<strong>di</strong>fferences compared to CAE conferences in Japan. It’s great<br />

to have the opportunity to actively exchange technical<br />

information between organizations from <strong>di</strong>fferent countries.<br />

Mr.Morita: From Professor Stefano Odorizzi’s keynote speech<br />

and my personal conversation with him, I was particularly<br />

impressed by the fact that <strong>EnginSoft</strong> is expan<strong>di</strong>ng its<br />

business not only in Italy but also internationally and this in<br />

harsh economic times. At Elysium, we are keen to establish a<br />

longterm relationship with <strong>EnginSoft</strong>.<br />

Apart from the Conference, <strong>di</strong>d you have time to explore<br />

Italy a bit?<br />

Mr.Morita: Luckily, we had enough time to stroll around in the<br />

old city of Bergamo and in Milan after the conference. What<br />

really moved me is the deep history and the beautiful<br />

harmony between the past and modernity. These are<br />

memories I brought back from looking at the old<br />

architectures and from our visits to some museums.<br />

Mr.Fukuta: I will remember my first visit to Italy for a<br />

long time to come. I was fascinated by the beautiful<br />

landscape of Bergamo and the wonderful <strong>di</strong>nner we<br />

have enjoyed in a restaurant on one of the surroun<strong>di</strong>ng<br />

hills of the city.<br />

Would you say that your presence, also as an<br />

exhibitor, at the Conference was effective?<br />

Mr.Morita: Certainly yes. There were quite a few<br />

positive <strong>di</strong>scussions about our products and we could<br />

generate some leads for our future business in Europe.<br />

I am really grateful to Ms. Barbara Leichtenstern for<br />

her deep considerations and to everybody at <strong>EnginSoft</strong>.<br />

Mr.Fukuta: Thank you for all your support and for giving<br />

us such a good opportunity to meet the people of<br />

<strong>EnginSoft</strong> and the au<strong>di</strong>ence of the International<br />

Conference.<br />
