Towards an Era of 'Efficiency through AI, Decisions by Humans'. Frontier to Consolidate Headquarters to the 17th Floor of Yebisu Garden Place Starting April 1st, the New Fiscal Year.

Frontier Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Masahiro Takahashi), which operates the business matching service "Ready Crew," will consolidate and relocate its headquarters office from the 14th and 15th floors of Yebisu Garden Place to the expansive single floor of the 17th floor on April 1, 2026, aiming to promote business and foster organizational unity.

Precisely because information processing by AI is accelerating, we will concentrate our organizational resources on 'dialogue' with each customer and understanding the complex context surrounding our customers. In our pursuit of 'what constitutes true customer benefit' in the AI era, the business matching service "Ready Crew," which involves concierges, has identified a pressing need: 'While analysis and organization can be done by AI, the final decision requires 'human recommendation' and 'a sense of conviction'.'

With the addition of approximately 60 new graduates, bringing the total to over 360 employees, we are undertaking this headquarters relocation to maximize the unique value proposition of "Ready Crew" – introducing optimal partners by verbalizing the 'true challenges' that extend from customer dialogue.

Background of Relocation: Investing in 'Human Value' Precisely Because It's the AI Era Since our founding 16 years ago in 2009, we have been engaged in the business matching business with the theme of "Meeting the Right Companies." Through facilitating approximately 140,000 business introductions, we have come to understand that what ultimately determines the "fit" between companies is not a comparison of specifications or prices, but mutual understanding achieved through dialogue between the individuals in charge.

No matter how much technology evolves, the core of decision-making, the desire to "work with this company," is based on trust between people, in other words, the power of community. We believe that precisely because AI is taking over the organization and comparison of information, the value of 'conviction' generated by human involvement is actually increasing.

This philosophy is also reflected in our own work style. While we understand the efficiency of remote work, we deliberately do not prioritize remote systems. Instead, we place the greatest value on everyday conversations among employees in the same space and the co-creation opportunities that arise when inviting customers. This consolidation and relocation to a single floor embodies this philosophy in physical space. Features of the New Office: A Single-Floor Design that Circulates Information and Stimulates Sensitivity In this relocation, we have gathered all departments, which were previously dispersed, onto a single 17th-floor space. This space is not merely a workspace but an engine designed to maximize the 'value of dialogue' that emerges from coexistence with AI.

1. 'Creative Workspace' Where All Employees' Knowledge Intersects While thoroughly streamlining routine tasks with AI, we have created an environment where employees can focus solely on customer dialogue and creative discussions. The 'real compatibility' of companies and 'latest success/failure cases' obtained by over 360 concierges in the field will mix in real-time on a single floor, allowing us to deeply uncover 'true challenges that customers have not yet verbalized,' which AI cannot reach. We aim to go beyond 'simple matching' to provide end-to-end support, from selecting optimal partners to supporting their execution, thereby creating 'convincing, supportive assistance' for customer business success across the entire organization.

2. The core of the office design is a curved layout based on a 'circle,' symbolizing human connection (community). This design mimics our corporate logo, embodying the philosophy of 'giving shape to the aspirations of companies and individuals, and connecting them,' making the space itself a manifestation of our corporate identity. ・Dialogue Fostered by Soft Curves: By abandoning linear office structures and intentionally adopting curved pathways, we encourage spontaneous encounters between employees and deeper conversations in a relaxed state.

・Event Space for Co-creation with Visitors: Designed not only for internal use but also for hosting events with external partners and clients.

・A Space for Dialogue Embracing 'Four Seasons': Each area, themed around the symbolic 'Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter,' stimulates innate human senses and functions as a mechanism for building 'warm, trusting relationships' with visitors.
