Background to the expansion of business areas and company name change

We believe that the coming era will be one in which "society," "individuals," and "technology" will "self-sustainably harmonize," and that data will play an important role in assisting and promoting this harmony.

Instead of companies and organizations monopolizing data as in the past, our mission is to make it more accessible and shared by as many individuals and organizations as possible for the sake of "social development" and "individual happiness," and we aim to act as a catalyst to speed up this harmonization.

We believe that data that is shared more openly will act as a catalyst to change the world and the future in a brighter and more enjoyable direction, and we will use open data to support "individual lifestyles," "corporate decision-making," and "social sustainability."

As a first step, we will link and openly share data from publishers, bookstores, and distributors in the publishing industry, which is facing structural challenges, to help solve these issues and promote the use of this data in new business ventures for each company. We will continue to hold discussions regarding the specific methods and content of data collaboration and the measures to be implemented, taking into account laws and regulations and other societal demands.
