2. Reason and Purpose of launching MINNA-NO Metaverse Community

According to the 2022 report by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the global metaverse market is expected to reach as much as about 79 trillion yen by 2030 (*1). Accordingly, the metaverse is expected to bring about a drastic change in both our lives and business practices, establishing a new way of communication. In addition, transcosmos market research report published last year showed that one in four consumers said they have used the metaverse. transcosmos believes that metaverse users will continue to increase even more going forward. transcosmos and QON will connect with consumers through the community to grasp consumer trends focusing on the metaverse while monitoring changes in their awareness and attitudes towards the metaverse. Furthermore, the two companies aim to enhance the value of the metaverse experience and increase users, leveraging the voice of consumers and insights gained in the community.


■ QON Inc

Since its establishment in 1996,   QON has been dedicated to managing fan communities for over 250 companies and   local governments. Our expertise lies in fostering strong connections between   these entities and their target audience, addressing these entities'   challenges, and fostering sustainable growth through the application of data   science and leveraging a range of patented technologies. QON stands for   Quality of Network. We believe that networks are about quality. There is a   prevailing sentiment across the internet worldwide that while an individual   alone may feel powerless, when multiple people unite, they can wield   considerable influence and effect change on a global level. We, through our   services and products, harness the collective power of individuals to   contribute to society. By accommodating the wishes and needs of the community   participants, companies can become strong partners with their communities.   Consumer networks formed in resonance with the corporate stance and values   have a high level of engagement and can be a source of enormous economic   benefits. We aim to foster connections between companies and their existing   or potential user bases, facilitate interactions among users, and forge links   between local communities and the broader scope of Japan. We strive to   communicate this message to the world and nurture bonds among all people.
