PR TIMES Corporation (Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Takumi Yamaguchi; TSE Prime / NSE Premier: 3922) announces its collaboration and cooperation with the Space Strategy Fund Division of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) (Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Director: Satoru Uchiqi) to promote the space industry by enhancing the information dissemination of space-related businesses. Based on this collaboration, we plan to offer free press release distribution and hold PR seminars for organizations selected by the Space Strategy Fund. In conjunction with this, on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, we will begin accepting applications for a special program for target businesses, and will hold a seminar at a later date to share specific information dissemination know-how.

- Provide a special program allowing organizations selected by the Space Strategy Fund to use "PR TIMES" free of charge (1 release/month for 6 months). - Host PR and public relations seminars themed around the space business. - Provide "PR TIMES" free of charge for information dissemination by the JAXA Space Strategy Fund Division itself. Supporting "Action-Takers" Challenging the Unknown Through Information Dissemination The space industry is a field with great expectations for future growth, and numerous startups and companies are working to solve social issues and create new value with their unique technologies and services. On the other hand, we believe there are challenges such as not knowing how to communicate that value to general consumers and the media due to the high specialization of the technology, and lacking PR know-how because resources are tied up in development. If these wonderful challenges do not reach the right people, there is a possibility that cooperation, future investments, and social implementation will be delayed. Through this collaboration, we want to create an environment where businesses engaged in the space industry can take on the challenge of disseminating information. Our company's mission is "Towards an era where information generated by action-takers moves people's hearts." This collaboration stems from our desire to support those who continuously take action toward the unknown realm of space. Previously, in February 2026, our company resonated with the vision of the "Artificial Shooting Star Project" promoted by ALE Co., Ltd., and participated as their official partner. https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000001620.000000112.html About the "Space Strategy Fund" Aiming to Leapfrog the Space Industry with a Total Scale of 1 Trillion Yen The Space Strategy Fund is a national project with a total scale of 1 trillion yen operated by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) with the aim of advancing Japan's space industry to the next generation. As the space-related market expands rapidly worldwide and international development competition intensifies, it aims to shift from the traditional "government-led" to "public-private partnership," and through the expansion of the space business market, resolution of global social issues, and pioneering of new frontiers, industry, academia, and government will unite to help Japan's space industry take flight to the world. Specifically, the fund determines support targets through screening for technology development by private companies, universities, and others, including startups, in three areas: "Transportation (rockets, etc.)," "Satellites, etc.," and "Exploration, etc." To ensure that they can settle down and focus on development, which often takes time to yield results, strong backing is provided from the aspect of funding for up to 10 years. ▼ Overview of the JAXA Space Strategy Fund https://fund.jaxa.jp/about/ Support Content Provided: Free press release distribution, PR seminars, and promotion of Space Strategy Fund information dissemination 1.
