Landscape and VisasQ Announce Business Alliance
— Accelerating Corporate Support Through Japan's Largest Corporate Database and a Leading Knowledge Platform —

Landscape Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Katsuhito Nagatake; hereinafter "Landscape"), which supports corporate marketing through Japan's largest corporate database, announced on the 17th that it has entered into a business alliance with VisasQ Inc. (Headquarters: Meguro-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Eiko Hashiba; listed on the Mothers market; hereinafter "VisasQ"), which supports corporate innovation through its knowledge platform. As the first phase of this partnership, Landscape has integrated its "sideSonar" service with the "VisasQ interview" site. Through this alliance, both companies will provide corporate clients with more efficient solutions for their research challenges.

■ Background of the Business Alliance
Generally, when companies conduct marketing research on a specific industry, they often face the challenge of lacking the necessary connections to consult with industry experts. To address this, VisasQ leverages a database of over 400,000 advisors with diverse industry and professional experience, providing a service that allows clients to quickly gain insights from qualified experts for any research challenge. Meanwhile, Landscape possesses "LBC," a proprietary corporate database covering domestic business locations, and supports sales and marketing activities—such as lead list creation—by providing corporate information to contracted companies through its cloud-based services, "uSonar" and "sideSonar." By combining their respective strengths in "knowledge databases" and "corporate databases," both companies aim to provide more powerful and rapid marketing research solutions.

■ Overview of the Business Alliance and Expected Customer Benefits
As the first phase of this alliance, a button has been added to Landscape's flagship service, "sideSonar," allowing users to jump directly to the "VisasQ interview" page. sideSonar users can now easily apply for consultations on the VisasQ platform whenever they require expert advice.
As the second phase of this partnership, a joint seminar titled "Understand in 30 Minutes: Leading New Business to Success" will be held on Thursday, February 10, 2022. We invite you to register.
