Meta Earth Heroes Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Asako Kimura; hereinafter 'the Company') is pleased to announce the full-scale launch of the 'Disaster Prevention Business including Disaster Prevention Metaverse' following a strategic carve-out and business succession from its group company, Meta Heroes Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka City, Osaka; CEO: Kazutoshi Matsuishi; hereinafter 'Meta Heroes').
As a specialized company with a mission to solve social issues and realize a sustainable future society, we will integrate Japan's world-class 'practical knowledge' of disaster prevention with cutting-edge metaverse and AI technologies to deepen industry-academia-government collaboration and accelerate global expansion.
### Background and Purpose of Business Succession: Specialization and Acceleration of Social Issue Solving
The 'Disaster Prevention Metaverse' previously developed by Meta Heroes has received high acclaim from local governments and educational institutions as a solution that fosters a 'realistic sense of crisis' and 'ability to respond to sudden events' through XR (fire/flood simulations, etc.) and AI—challenges difficult to address through traditional lectures.
As intensifying disasters due to climate change become a common global challenge, carving out this business to our company will maximize its social impact through the following benefits:
- **Faster Decision-Making:** A management system specialized in social problem-solving allows for immediate response to market changes and needs.
- **Concentration of Resources:** Specialized personnel and funds will be concentrated on this business to drive further product advancement.
- **Flexible Co-creation System:** Dynamic development of joint research with universities and research institutions, as well as alliances with domestic and international partner companies.
### Key Areas of the 'Co-creation Platform' Promoted by the Company
We aim to implement advanced technology not merely as a tool but as 'infrastructure for saving lives.'
1. **Evidence-based Development through Industry-Academia-Government Collaboration**
Close collaboration with universities, research institutions, and local governments in the fields of disaster prevention, education, welfare, and the environment. We develop highly effective simulations and educational programs based on academic insights.
2. **Global Export of 'Japanese-style Disaster Prevention' (Resilience Strengthening)**
Packaging Japan's 'mitigation knowledge (software)' as a disaster prevention leader with 'metaverse technology (hardware)' that enables intuitive learning across language barriers. We will expand this as a global model contributing to disaster risk reduction worldwide.
### Comment from CEO Asako Kimura
'Our mission is to protect as many lives as possible through the power of technology. Inheriting the innovative technological baton cultivated by Meta Heroes, we will let that value shine on the grand stage of Japan and the world through the new vessel of Meta Earth Heroes. We will combine the power of industry, government, and academia to race toward the realization of a sustainable future society.'
