* comment*
We have decided to invest in Apas Port.
In the future, the amount of information in the world will further increase due to the development of AI. In this context, user engagement and loyalty formation must continue to evolve. Furthermore, as you can see from the quality of UGC in recent years, humans are inherently creative and full of potential when given the right opportunities and a sense of ownership. It will become even more important for businesses to take advantage of these human
characteristics and to build ecosystems that fully utilize the potential of individuals and partner companies.
I sincerely support Apas Port, which is moving forward toward this kind of worldview and is at the forefront of creating ecosystems and communities.
