[FOOT×BRAIN / Program Overview] FOOT×BRAIN began in April 2011. This year marks the milestone 15th anniversary of the program, which has been running for 14 years with the concept of “everything we can do to make Japanese soccer stronger.” At that time, Japan national team captain Wataru Endo publicly declared, “We want to win the World Cup.” In response to these words, the program will enter a new phase, being renewed and scaled up. The new concept is “Everything we can do to help Japan win the World Cup.” While maintaining its genre-neutral and innovative approach, this program delves deeper and more thoroughly, aiming to bring Japanese soccer closer to winning the World Cup.

In 2024, we completely relocated our headquarters and development center to Shiroyama Trust Tower in Toranomon, Minato-ku, Tokyo, and established CONNECT-TECHUB (a development space compliant with the international security
certification ISO 27001). • In the tech business, we offer domestic LABO-style development services specializing in serving as a strategic tech partner for mega ventures and platform operators. We provide comprehensive solutions for startups and large-scale services, from architecture and infrastructure to software, and use Scrum-based team development to fully launch and operate the entire project. Leveraging this expertise, we began hiring both experienced and inexperienced candidates in 2021 to fulfill our founding mission of making tech careers the de facto standard. We have achieved a repeatable skill transfer process for many inexperienced individuals to transition to cutting-edge tech careers in the shortest and fastest time possible. • Our management business is accelerating its overseas expansion, focusing primarily on the global sport of soccer. Maximizing the value of professional athletes. We are expanding our activities, primarily focused on passing on the professional mentality to the next generation. • “Seitai Pelvic Adjustment Connect,” originally established for the purpose of staff welfare, has operated a physical store with the vision of “extending healthy lifespans and providing a richer lifestyle in a society with a declining birthrate and aging population.” It has now grown into a core component of our healthcare business. In 2024, we launched “yuyura,” a new oil treatment service specifically for women, as part of our healthcare business. • Based in Nagano, CONNECT FARM was launched with the ambitious goal of “preserving Japanese food.” This year, they’ll be offering their limited-edition, freshly picked, “extremely sweet” fresh corn, “Kintaro,” again this year. They’re also planning to open a restaurant in Karuizawa. • In 2023, as a new business, a global apparel business centered on the “nana-nana” brand, which connects Japanese culture to the world, joined Connect. • We will report on the state of Connect, which expands through connections every year, through our owned media, “media CONNECT.” Company name Connect Co., Ltd.
