Notice regarding business partnership with Expert Business Co., Ltd.

B-MAP Inc. is partnering with Expert Business Co., Ltd. to work with a group of former public and private sector specialists in security, defense technology, and the defense industry. The aim is to speed up business development in information, communications, and IT solutions for defense and security fields. Expert Business provides research and business support focused on defense and security, and together the two companies will collaborate on selling solutions for these areas.

The security environment around Japan has been changing quickly, and in the defense field there is a strong demand for advanced IT technologies. This includes information and communications, data linkages, system integration, and work in cyber and information domains. There is also a need to implement these technologies quickly in society. In defense and security, private sector technology, flexible and fast development systems, and business promotion based on specialized knowledge are important. The role of private companies is growing every year.

B-MAP has expanded its business mainly in areas with high public and social importance. This is based on wireless communication technology, IT solutions, and platform development. Expert Business specializes in research, business planning, and information for defense and security. It has a network of defense-related organizations and companies and advanced, practical expertise.

The purpose of this partnership is to create a system that provides solutions capturing the practical needs of the defense and security sector and to fully use B-MAP’s information, communications, and IT technologies in this field. By combining strengths, the companies aim to provide problem-solving solutions, strengthen proposal capabilities for practical use, and expand sales channels and business opportunities.

The partnership will focus on sales collaboration for IT and communications solutions in defense and security, joint sales and proposal activities for defense-related organizations and companies, developing solutions based on research findings, and sharing information and promoting the defense sector through seminars, workshops, and exhibitions. This is strictly a business and sales collaboration and does not involve any capital alliance.

The companies’ collaboration is aimed at a strategic move to solidify their business base in defense and security, use AI tech to make the sector better and come out with sustainable growth. Currently, the business performance impact for this fiscal year is anticipated to be small, though the initiatives and progress will eventually be disclosed.
