Hello, this is Shun from ONE X. The first press release is from PRTIMES and covers the launch of "GREEN NOTE PRO," a sustainability/SDGs specialized information app for businesses developed by Greenroom, a company engaged in sustainability transformation support services. The app curates articles and news related to SDGs, including the latest international trends and domestic and overseas case studies, reducing the effort required for information gathering.
The Next News Is Also from PRTIMES

GOLDWIN PLAY EARTH FUND
Fund managed by Samurai Incubate
Background to the Fundraising
As background to the fundraising, the service generated significant response since its launch in 2021, with the number of waiting-list registrations now surpassing 3,600 since the service began.
The author's impressions on the first press release: As various media outlets proliferate and the volume of information grows, I believe we're seeing a situation where the information you truly need gets buried. In this environment, niche information apps focused on specific fields will continue to be important. In particular, when it comes to sustainable information, I think companies need to keep their antennae up from an SDGs perspective.
The author's impressions on the next press release: I feel that a variety of work styles have emerged as a result of these times, and many people's lifestyles have changed. I also sense that after long periods of staying at home, more people are craving nature. In this context, demand for services like second homes is growing, and the fact that we're seeing investment not just from VCs and financial institutions but also from real estate companies suggests this kind of business could become a new driver of activity in those regions.
