Atsushi Hatayama, President, International Business Development, Nippon TV:
"Not long after the China version hit the airwaves last May, we now mark the first-ever localization in Latin America with the Mexican version's broadcast. I am delighted that the momentum to bring the format to more countries is increasing. As a result of the strong partnership between Nippon TV and SPT, "Dragons' Den" has become a formidable global brand that has continued to captivate audiences over the years. As a finished program, it has been sold to 184 countries and regions. I am truly honored that we can continue delivering "Dragons' Den" to more and more people around the world, and I would like to thank SPT for their dedication and hard work throughout the years. It is my hope that we can continue to work together and further expand the format to reach even more viewers who, because of "Dragons' Den," may get the chance to capture their dreams."
