Circulate all forms of value to unleash the potential in all people
“What can I do to help society thrive with the finite resources we have?” The Mercari marketplace app was born in 2013 out of this thought by our founder Shintaro Yamada as he traveled the world. We believe that by circulating all forms of value, not just physical things and money, we can create opportunities for anyone to realize their dreams and contribute to society and the people around them. Mercari aims to use technology to connect people all over the world and create a world where anyone can unleash their potential.
Mercari R4D, the R&D organization pioneering the path toward undiscovered value
Under the mission of “Pioneering the path toward undiscovered value,” Mercari Group established the R&D organization, Mercari R4D, to foment the future of innovation and to contribute to the realization of the society Mercari Group wants to create.
We emphasize a co-innovation approach, which is an R&D mechanism that aims to solve social issues and realize a better society by engaging in collaboration beyond the boundaries of communities in such fields as industry and academia, and even going beyond national borders. As a step toward becoming a world-leading center for co-innovation, R4D wants to create a place where everyone can experience the potential of future innovation through our research.
For the R4D Researcher position, we are looking for researchers from a wide range of disciplines, not only the research fields in which R4D is already involved.
