We are very honored to be selected for Nikkei Cross Trend’s “100 companies that will create the market of the future [2025 edition].
We received a lot of attention and expectation when our drone show & aerial QR was selected as No. 1 in the feature “Top 30 Hit Predictions for 2024” in the December 2023 issue of “Nikkei Trendy” (released on November 4, 2023). We hope that this technology will not end as a passing boom, but take root as a new culture that moves people’s hearts. We will continue to create new value in the sky.
