Presence outside of Japan includes the U.S., U.K., France, China, Korea and India, with aggressive business expansion overseas that has amassed over 6 million physicians as members across its global platforms.

In 2012, M3 entered into a capital and business alliance that includes the licensing of the MR-kun service, and have since developed a strong relationship with MirVracha through provision of support and know-how surrounding business launches and operations. M3 has completed the acquisition of MirVracha as a subsidiary, and will leverage its experience and know-how gained through its overseas business development in the United States, Europe, Asia, and other regions. M3 will move forward with the full-scale development of services related to its physician platform in Russia by combining the high-quality network of physicians, medical institutions, and pharmaceutical companies that MirVracha has cultivated in Russia, with M3's expertise in operating websites and various services for healthcare professionals.

- Revolutionising the Digital Content Delivery Model
- Pharmaceutical industry processes don’t have to make the delivery of marketing campaigns slow and unmanageable, and thus ineffective. Changing working practices and really, truly thinking differently about how to deliver materials in a new and faster way is possible, but only if companies are ready to consider and embrace new, novel ways of working. Utilising these methods, M3 reduced a client's delivery time from 75 days to just 7.5 days
