JP UNIVERSE Inc. (CEO: Hajime Tabata) announces that it has entered a capital alliance with The Bank of Yokohama, Ltd. (President and Representative Director: Tatsuya Kataoka), a member of the Concordia Financial Group, Ltd. for 200 million yen.

We are working with The Bank of Yokohama on a collaboration to provide new customer experiences, including gamification DX and XR, and to contribute to the development of local industries. This capital alliance will be through “Hamagin DG Innovation Fund,” a CVC fund that aims to invest in venture companies with digital technology.

Through this alliance, we will provide and develop the “OwnWorld®” Gamification* platform, which is based on the RPG/Metaverse Production Middleware “PEGASUS WORLD KIT®” and the Game Commerce* platform “RYUGUOKOKU®,” which allows users to virtually experience corporate products and services through RPGs. In addition, we and The Bank of Yokohama will promote the development of new banking services through seminars, exhibitions and events using our platform.

We will continue to promote businesses that provide new customer experiences through the Metaverse.
