Global Brain has invested in ORIGRESS Inc. (ORIGRESS), a startup delivering one-stop IP collaboration solutions centered on real-world experiences, through its ANA Future Frontier Fund L.P. (ANA Future Frontier Fund). As fan sentiment shifts back toward physical experiences in the post-pandemic era, the nature of marketing and merchandising is evolving significantly. In particular, holding physical events has become an essential element in fostering fan engagement and passion. ORIGRESS aims to maximize the value of IP and provide experiences that elevate fan enthusiasm, leveraging its strengths in a nationwide network of partner facilities and its ability to provide end-to-end production for themed cafes, exhibitions, and more. Global Brain has decided to invest in ORIGRESS, highly valuing ORIGRESS' nationwide network and its planning capabilities for IP utilization. Through this investment, Global Brain will collaborate with ANA HOLDINGS INC. to provide multi-faceted management support aimed at contributing to ORIGRESS' further business expansion.
