Lirem Co., Ltd. (Head office: Toyohashi City, Aichi Prefecture; Representative Director: Ryusuke Yabuuchi) has acquired the "Campus Compass Business" from Campus Compass LLC, which was founded by Mr. Itatsu Iwakuma, a graduate of the first class of Hi-Okoshi. We are also pleased to announce that, with the aim of further developing this business and maximizing its value, we have entrusted its operation to Hi-Okoshi General Incorporated Association (Representative Director: Sota Hatanaka) and commenced a business alliance.

▍What is Campus Compass?

"Campus Compass" is an information sharing site that provides diverse choices and possibilities to students of Toyohashi University of Technology. It publishes information such as course evaluations, laboratory information, and introductions to club activities and organizations, delivering real-time information. By implementing a system where membership registration is only possible with an in-campus email address, only students can view and post, ensuring highly reliable information provision. Additionally, it lists part-time job opportunities primarily from companies in Higashi-Mikawa, supporting the expansion of students' activity fields.

▍Background of Business Acquisition and Alliance

The background of this business acquisition is to ensure the further continuation and expansion of the Campus Compass business, which has primarily been provided to Toyohashi University of Technology, and to maximize its value provision. This time, Lirem Co., Ltd. welcomes this business into its group, and by entrusting its operation to Hi-Okoshi General Incorporated Association, which promotes regional human resource development and entrepreneurship education, we believe that the synergy between both organizations can be maximized, leading to the decision for this new structure. Moving forward, under the business alliance between Lirem and Hi-Okoshi, we will leverage the Campus Compass business as a starting point to bridge regional companies and local students, aiming to deliver new opportunities to many students and further expand the value of the business.

▍Comments from Representatives and Personnel

We are pleased to welcome Mr. Iwakuma's business, a graduate of the first class of Hi-Okoshi, into the Lirem Group. Furthermore, by connecting students' scope of activity, which has previously been limited to within the campus, to the region and from the region to society, we aim to realize a society where students can experience choices and aspirations that were previously unavailable. We intend to operate with the perspective of how to connect individuals who can make their own life decisions from this easily accessible on-campus information site to the wider community.

Hi-Okoshi General Incorporated Association has inherited the business operation rights from Campus Compass LLC. Mr. Iwakuma, the representative of Campus Compass, and I were contemporaries who worked hard together as participants in the "1st Hi-Okoshi" program. I deeply empathize with his profound passion for the business and have decided to take over its operation to carry his vision to the next stage. Moving forward, based at my alma mater, Toyohashi University of Technology, I will focus on developing unique services for engineering students. While steadily expanding the business through sound management, I am also committed to supporting the businesses of all those involved with "Hi-Okoshi" and fostering new business creation. Please look forward to the challenges of Campus Compass under its new structure.

"Campus Compass" was launched with the aim of delivering real information to students so that they can make satisfying choices based on their own values. By collaborating with Hi-Okoshi and Lirem, both of which I participated in as a graduate, we will now be able to provide students with even greater value, not just through on-campus information provision, but also through connections with the local community. Through this alliance, we will redouble our efforts in development and operation to ensure that the student life at Toyohashi University of Technology becomes richer and full of choices.
