The NEEDS Service started in 1970, becoming the first newspaper to market a complex business database in Japan to the financial industry, government, research and education institutes. NEEDS provides data to all top 10 securities companies and all six of the major banks in Japan, a true indication of the calibre of the services provided by NEEDS.
As foreign interest in Japan increased, Nikkei expanded the use of NEEDS outside of Japan, establishing a global network to assist NEEDS clients.
