July 7, 2026 Tokyo/London

Japan Nexus Intelligence Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Masakazu Takamori; hereinafter "JNI"), which engages in intelligence communications*1, aiming to maintain and develop democratic discourse through strategic information dissemination based on cutting-edge analytical technology, and Farrant Group, a strategic communications and public affairs firm based in London, UK, are pleased to announce that they have entered into a strategic partnership agreement.

This partnership aims to strengthen strategic communications, information environment analysis, and stakeholder engagement capabilities in the Indo-Pacific region.

JNI specializes in information environment analysis, narrative analysis, and regional situation analysis using open-source intelligence (OSINT), while Farrant Group possesses an international network and extensive track record in strategic communications. Through this collaboration, both companies will combine their respective strengths to provide more advanced strategic communication support to government agencies, public sector clients, and corporate clients.

In recent years, against the backdrop of intensifying geopolitical competition, the proliferation of disinformation and information manipulation, and a rapidly changing information environment, the importance of information dissemination and trust-building based on insights into geopolitical situations and online discourse has become more critical than ever. This partnership aims to respond to these environmental changes and support clients in understanding and effectively engaging with complex information spaces.

By integrating region-specific knowledge with international networks, JNI and Farrant Group will support trust-building through communication in the Indo-Pacific region.

Key Areas of Cooperation

This partnership will focus on cooperation in the following areas:

Enhancement of Strategic Communications

Information Environment Analysis

Strengthening Global Information Dissemination Strategies

Reputation Management and Enhancement Support

Planning and Operation of International Conferences and Events

Comment from Masakazu Takamori, Representative Director of Japan Nexus Intelligence

Today, the information risks faced by governments and corporations have entered an era where traditional public relations and crisis management are no longer sufficient. With intensifying geopolitical competition, the sophistication of disinformation and foreign information manipulation and interference (FIMI), and the widespread adoption of generative AI, the information environment has become a strategic domain directly linked to national security, economic security, and corporate management.

I view this era as the "New Era of Information Risk." What is now required is a perspective that views the information environment as a whole strategy, encompassing not only online spaces but also AI platform governance, economic security, historical warfare, lawfare, and diplomacy.

Farrant Group has an extensive track record and international network in strategic communications and public affairs, and has high compatibility with JNI's expertise in information environment analysis, open-source intelligence (OSINT), and the Indo-Pacific region. This partnership is not merely a business alliance. Our shared mission is to support the formation of a reliable information environment in the Indo-Pacific region and to assist governments and corporations in making better decisions within the increasingly complex information space. JNI will continue to deepen its collaboration with international partners, disseminate Japanese information intelligence to the world, and contribute to the realization of a democratic and resilient information environment.

Future Outlook

Amidst the growing strategic importance of the Indo-Pacific region, JNI and Farrant Group will further strengthen their support systems for government agencies, public sector clients, and corporate clients through this partnership.

Furthermore, we aim to provide international-standard services in areas such as strategic communications, information environment analysis, and reputation building, and will expand our global presence.

This partnership marks a new starting point for our cooperative relationship and is a significant step towards further business expansion.
