(headquartered in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yasuhiko Yurimoto; hereinafter "Global Brain"), held on December 6, 2024.

"Global Brain Alliance Forum 2024" is a conference designed to learn about the latest trends surrounding startups and to create collaborations with large enterprises. It was held in two parts: a forum at an offline venue and a networking party between large enterprises and startups. At the "Startup Pitch Battle," one of the conference's highlight sessions, eight startups in focus areas took the stage among the companies that had secured investment from Global Brain over approximately the past year since the end of last year.

At Lazuli, Representative Director Hagiwara pitched on the challenges of master data faced by companies and the world that Lazuli PDP aims to create, and received the Judges' Award. The valuable feedback and evaluations from the judges deepened our confidence in our past business activities and, at the same time, encouraged us to take on new challenges. With this award, we will continue to devote ourselves fully to solving the issues faced by our customer companies.
