Bringing Together Executive's 'Latest AI Learning' and 'Children's Support.' Adult Reskilling Community 'HERO Salon' Launches.

Meta Heroes Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture; Representative Director: Kazutoshi Matsuishi; hereinafter referred to as 'the Company') is pleased to announce the renewal of its corporate support system, relaunching it as 'HERO Salon,' a community where executives and board members can learn together and support the next generation.

**■ Overview of this Announcement**
'Hero Egg,' an educational facility operated by our company where children can experience the latest technology, is supported by a system that is now being reborn as **'HERO Salon,'** a place for executives to learn and interact.

This salon is an 'adult study group' where participants can learn from the basics how to utilize the rapidly evolving 'AI (Artificial Intelligence)' in their work. Simultaneously, it serves as a 'donation and support platform' that supports the educational environment for children who will lead the next generation. Through weekly online study sessions and networking events for like-minded executives, it provides a space where participants can update their skills while also engaging in social contribution.

**■ Social Background**
Currently, new technologies such as AI are rapidly spreading, and ways of working are undergoing significant changes. However, executives who are at the forefront of steering their companies often lack opportunities to thoroughly learn the basics of 'where to start' and 'how it can specifically be useful.'

On the other hand, in the educational settings for children who will bear the future, there is a growing disparity in access to new technologies depending on their residential area and family environment. We believe that Japan now needs a mechanism to connect this 'baton of learning' – where adults learn new things themselves, and their challenges create educational opportunities for children.

**■ Our 'Vision' and 'What We Will Do'**
We believe that showing children adults happily mastering new technologies and taking on challenges is the greatest education for them. Through the following activities, 'HERO Salon' will expand the circle of 'reliable adults.'

**[Main Activities at HERO Salon]**
**Continuous Learning of 'AI Utilization':**
We hold 'AI Monday,' a weekly online study session. Avoiding difficult technical terms, we explain the latest news and useful technologies for work in an easy-to-understand manner. Distinguished guests will also speak.

**Meeting and Networking with Fellow Executives:**
We hold monthly regular meetings. We create a space where executives with the same aspirations and a desire to improve the future can connect and inspire each other.

**Utilization of Educational Facilities:**
You can utilize 'Hero Egg,' our educational facility in Namba, Osaka, for your company's events and training.

**Proof of Social Contribution:**
Your name (company name) will be published on the facility and website. This visualizes your activities as a 'supporter company' cheering for the future of children.

**■ Story**
Since its establishment, our company has been active in solving social problems such as regional revitalization, disaster prevention, and education, using new technologies like virtual spaces (metaverse) and AI. We are constantly challenging ourselves to 'shape the future,' including hosting large-scale events at the Osaka-Kansai Expo in 2025.

While operating 'Hero Egg,' which is a pillar of these activities, we received warm feedback from many executives saying, 'We also want to learn, but we are afraid of being left behind,' and 'We want to do something for children.' We brought these aspirations together and arrived at 'HERO Salon,' a form that combines learning and support.

**■ Our Resolve**
Through 'HERO Salon,' Meta Heroes will create an environment where leaders supporting Japan can master the latest technologies and confidently guide the next generation. The learning here will transform into 'seeds of dreams' for children's free education.

'Adults learn, children dream.' We aim to spread this simple cycle nationwide and create a society where everyone can become a 'hero' who can carve out their own future.
