Background of the sponsorship

Leopalace21 has been accelerating overseas expansion as part of its mid-term management plan, putting emphasis on the introduction of overseas real estate properties to Japanese companies, as well as the development and operation of serviced apartments and serviced offices in the ASEAN region.

The sponsorship of the 'Myanmar Open' will not only help to increase Leopalace21's name recognition in Myanmar, but hope it will become a foundation for further business growth in the country, as we expect the participation of local dignitaries.

Also, by sponsoring the 'Myanmar Open,' we will strive to expand recognition of Leopalace21's overseas deployment towards Japanese companies advancing abroad.
