Accelerating Nationwide Deployment of Regional Disaster Prevention DX "DigiTown" Through Capital and Business Alliance with KKT Goushi Kaisha
Anniversary Concierge Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kochi City, Kochi Prefecture; Representative Director: Motoyuki Fukushima) announces that it has entered into a capital and business alliance with KKT Goushi Kaisha (hereinafter, "KKT") and received a total investment of 130 million yen through a third-party allotment of shares to accelerate the nationwide deployment of its regional disaster prevention DX platform, "DigiTown".
Furthermore, in conjunction with this alliance, Tamateru Kanesue, Representative Director and President of KKT Goushi Kaisha, has been appointed as a Director of our company effective April 1, 2026.
■ Background of Capital and Business Alliance and Executive Appointment
In recent years, the increasing severity and frequency of disasters have made it seem as though disasters are becoming commonplace. Amidst this situation, the importance of rapid confirmation of safety, advanced evacuation center operations, and accurate information dissemination is greater than ever in local communities.
On the other hand, many municipalities are facing situations where disaster information and evacuation center information that the municipality possesses does not reach residents sufficiently or promptly. Furthermore, challenges exist, such as difficulties in rapidly confirming the safety of local residents and confusion in the initial response during evacuation center operations.
These challenges lead to delays in initial response and information gathering, which in turn can result in delays in disaster support and prolonged evacuation periods. This increases the risk of "disaster-related deaths" caused by deterioration of living environments and health conditions.
To address these issues, it is now imperative to widely disseminate and deploy phase-free regional disaster prevention DX, which supports both daily life and emergencies, nationwide, in anticipation of large-scale disasters, based on the premise of operating systems that function smoothly during disasters from normal times.
"DigiTown," provided by our company, is a regional platform that aims to solve these problems by integrating daily neighborhood association operations with disaster response, utilizing LINE.
With this capital and business alliance, and with Tamateru Kanesue's participation in management as our company's director, we will strengthen our management foundation and promotion system, further enhance decision-making speed and business momentum, and accelerate the social implementation of regional disaster prevention DX.
■ Main Uses of Raised Funds
The funds raised through this capital and business alliance will be utilized for the following initiatives to accelerate business growth:
① Promotion of Regional Disaster Prevention DX and Strengthening of Municipal Collaboration System
To accelerate the social implementation of "DigiTown," our promoted regional disaster prevention DX, we will strengthen planning, introduction support, and operational systems, as well as enhance sales systems and partner collaborations for expanding collaboration with municipalities. This will enable us to provide more advanced and continuous support to municipalities and local organizations, promote bulk adoption by municipalities in addition to adoption by neighborhood associations, and achieve a dramatic increase in deployment speed.
② Strengthening of Product Development (Advancement of Regional Disaster Prevention DX)
We will promote feature expansion and new service development for the "DigiTown Series (Town Association LINE, Disaster Prevention LINE, etc.)" to enhance its value as a regional infrastructure that supports both normal times and emergencies.
In particular, we will strengthen functions that contribute to solving emergency challenges for municipalities such as "rapid confirmation of safety," "confusion in initial response for evacuation center operations," and "fragmentation of disaster information," as well as enhance the information transmission infrastructure that quickly and reliably delivers disaster information and evacuation center information to local residents. This aims to achieve regional disaster prevention DX that contributes to reducing disaster-related deaths by improving initial response during disasters and facilitating disaster support.
Furthermore, to encourage the participation of a wider range of local residents, we will also strengthen functions that benefit residents and contribute to solving their problems in normal times, from the residents' perspective.
