RYODEN Corporation has invested in Microshare Inc., a company developing an IoT data platform (Headquarters: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA; hereinafter “Microshare”) through a Convertible Note. In addition, we have reached a global strategic partnership regarding Microshare’s AI-driven integrated monitoring system for pest control, “EverSmart™Pest” (EverSmart Pest).
“Note: a promissory note convertible into equity—an investment method that can be converted into shares in the future.”
As a result of this investment and partnership, we will integrate our remote monitoring solution for mice and pests, Pescle, developed in Japan, with Microshare’s EverSmart™Pest by combining our “video/image AI analysis technology” and “camera solutions” with Microshare’s platform. This collaboration will leverage Microshare’s established sales network in Europe and the United States, enhancing the competitive advantages of both companies and maximizing global business opportunities.
Through this partnership, we aim to deliver comprehensive remote monitoring of nuisance wildlife and pests on a global scale, and by enabling data-driven, high-level decision-making, accelerate the digital transformation (DX) of the pest control industry.
