## Rebuilding the Business and Leveraging Data: Key Factors in Global Expansion
Expanding overseas is not simply a matter of laterally deploying past successes. It requires reviewing and restructuring the business itself to fit the local context, including understanding the market environment, user behavior, and delivery design. In this session, we will view such initiatives as a 'reconstruction' of business and user experience, and delve deeply into its practice.
We will also focus on communication design that enables optimal approaches tailored to individual users. We will ask how 1-on-1 communication utilizing push notifications and pop-ups contributes to understanding users and improving retention rates in foreign markets, and what role data utilization is expected to play on the frontlines of global expansion.
This is a great opportunity to gain practical knowledge for those in the gaming, app, and entertainment industries seeking growth opportunities beyond the domestic market.
If you are interested in decision-making for overseas expansion, the ideal state of data infrastructure, and designing communication strategies, please join us.
