Nov 6, 2024
A press release announcing the collaboration between NB.ACADEMY, the organization behind Asia Koshien, and SHAPE Partners was distributed via PR TIMES
Through this collaboration, we aim not only to contribute to the success of Asia Koshien and the promotion of baseball across Asia, but also to provide consulting services to sponsors and other stakeholders. Together, we seek to expand client services throughout the Asian region.
Comment from NB.ACADEMY Representative, Shogo Shibata
This partnership has significantly expanded the scope of value we can deliver, particularly in consulting support services that involve our group companies, including the Asia Koshien tournament. By examining the history and structure of Koshien, we have been able to explore concrete ideas and develop mid- to long-term strategies on how Koshien culture can be brought to Asia. We look forward to continuing this journey together with the SHAPE Partners team, constantly thinking ahead and moving forward.
Comment from Takehiro Komamiya, COO of SHAPE Partners
We are truly pleased to be involved in meaningful baseball development initiatives in Asia through this partnership. At a time when the decline in the number of baseball fans and players in Japan is often discussed, promoting baseball across Asia is a highly meaningful endeavor. It has the potential not only to energize the region, but also to contribute to the expansion of the Japanese baseball market. Together with the NB.ACADEMY team, we look forward to continuing to think big and to develop and execute ambitious strategies.
