□Comment
・Ken KATSUBE, Shibuya Ward Mayor
Since its establishment, we have been based in Shibuya Ward and have been cooperating with MIXI, Inc., which has been supporting the ward's educational initiatives such as the "Kids VALLEY Future Learning Project" for elementary and middle school students and the "Shibuya Club Activity Reform Project". We are pleased to announce that we have reached an agreement with MIXI, Inc. this time.
In the ward, we are currently progressing with the establishment of cutting-edge educational environments as part of the "Schools of the Future" project. In the future, the ward's elementary and junior high schools will be rebuilt and redesigned as facilities open to the community. We are also considering the introduction of unique learning methods that will enable children to spread their wings from Shibuya to the world, as they live in a global society.
MIXI, Inc. is a company that, with this agreement, will further enhance collaboration and jointly create various learning contents, including "exploratory learning" that children voluntarily engage in at the "school of the future".
In addition, we have received various support from Tokyo Football Club Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of MIXI, Inc., including online visits to local elementary schools by players, promotion videos for garbage sorting and graffiti prevention.
We look forward to both companies being able to continue challenging new initiatives in the future.

Our company has been conducting various business activities in Shibuya for 24 years since its establishment. Our company aims to "expand rich communication and envelop the world with happy surprises." In order to create communication services that connect hearts, it is necessary to pay attention to trends and entertainment value, and always approach with a new sensitivity. Shibuya is the perfect place to be inspired by such stimulation. Not only are there many IT companies and engineers gathered here, but also in Shibuya, where young people and creators create trends and entertainment, we hope to continue creating various communication services in the future.
In addition to our business activities, we have continued to engage in various social contribution activities, such as programming learning support and club activity support for junior high school students in Shibuya Ward, utilizing the unique content developed by leveraging the IT expertise we have cultivated. Through this agreement, we will further promote social contribution activities in Shibuya Ward together with our FC Tokyo group, contributing to Shibuya becoming a place for even more innovation creation and developing into a city rich in creativity.
