Our partnership with Teenage Cancer Trust was established to enable our employees to work together in support of a common cause. Money raised by employees in the London offices will directly benefit Teenage Cancer Trust over a two year period, running from May 2009 to April 2011.

Nomura International PLC (NIP) supported the International Forum held in the National Library Hall, Beijing, China on December 8, 2007.
The Forum is a project of the Cambridge University Education Without Borders (CUEWB), a non-profit organization run principally by students from Cambridge University in the UK. CUEWB aims to share educational resources worldwide and break the barrier between educational institutions and industrial organizations. With "Success: Vision and Action" as the theme, the forum successfully attracted over 500 participants including students of different nationalities, professors from universities in Beijing, as well as corporate guests and journalists. The forum provided an opportunity for the audience to hear six world class speakers who shared their views on China and what it takes for young Chinese people to succeed in today's globalized society. The speakers came from different areas including Asia, Middle East, Europe and the United States.
Nomura Group was represented by Koichi Ikegami, Senior Communications Officer of Nomura Holdings' Corporate Citizenship Department, who gave a talk on "Asia's Outlook and the Role of Capital Markets." A panel discussion followed, which led to a lively question time thanks to the students' zeal. The success of the Forum can be traced to the combined support extended by Nomura Group companies including NIP, Nomura Holdings, Inc., Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. head office, Nomura International (Hong Kong) LIMITED, and the Beijing Office.
