Today was a momentous occasion for the IDOM Innovations team as they officially opened their new Melbourne-based Headquarters. Located in South Yarra, the new HQ will be the centre for IDOMs future technology development and innovation for the Automotive markets, here in Australia and globally. 

The Headquarters was officially opened by The Hon Tim Pallas MP Treasurer, Minister for Economic Development and Minister for Trade. Consul-General of Japan, Mr Junji Shimada and IDOM President Mr Yuske Hatori joined him in the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

At the opening ceremony, IDOM Innovations CEO, Mr Takayoshi Udagawa thanked The Minister and the Victorian Government for their support while looking for an excellent location for their Global Headquarters. 

” We are very grateful for the support Invest Victoria has provided IDOM Innovations from the very beginning. Invest Victoria was involved early in our quest to find a new global headquarters and introduced us to Victoria and Melbourne as a place for us to expand globally. “

When speaking about IDOM innovative automotive technology, Mr Udagawa spoke highly of the tech talent they have hired here in Melbourne and about their plans to work alongside RMIT. 

“We were impressed with Melbourne’s dynamic digital technology community and ecosystem. Through our relationship with the Victorian Government, we forged a new partnership with the highly regarded RMIT University to help us execute and deliver commercial concepts.” 

The opening ceremony was followed by a technology demonstration, showcasing AutoFlip, their flagship used car sales platform. The ground-breaking platform benefits automotive dealers and customers, encouraging purchasing ease and a new level of consumer transparency not available before.
