Strategic Insights for Global Monetization
This blog provides strategic information for those who have confidence in their technology or products but face hurdles in “How to monetize them” or “How to communicate their value to the world.”
Ideal for Situations Like These:
- Proposals & Internal Approvals: When you need a solid rationale for licensing models or revenue structures.
- Internal Persuasion: When you lack the objective logic to explain “Why this technology must be launched now.”
- Negotiations: When you cannot find the “sweet spot” in discussions with partners (especially international firms).
- Market Analysis: When you want to grasp the essence of trends without being distracted by buzzwords like “DX” or “Subscription.”
- Breaking Stalemates: When you need hints for improving profitability from a cross-industry perspective (Inbound Tourism × IP).
Clear Information from a “Field-First” Perspective
We deliver unique insights by combining two seemingly opposite worlds: the cutting edge of IT and the front lines of tourism.
- Monetization Standards: Practical patterns and contract structures for embedded software and IP licensing.
