Reaching 2,000 users in just two months since its launch is attracting attention as exceptional growth for a B2B application.

Clicking on a headline will redirect you to the source website, where you can view detailed information.
We organize corporate news using our proprietary "LBC" code, which covers one of Japan's largest corporate databases of 8.2 million locations, ensuring that you never miss events related to companies of interest. We hope you will experience the convenience of LBC codes through this and many other available features.
