[Awareness survey on business activities aimed at solving social challenges by METI]
The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) has defined capabilities that companies must possess to form new markets and solve social challenges through their business activities as market formation potential. METI expects companies to include a rule-making strategy to their business strategy and create and grow new markets. The ultimate goal is to penetrate this approach across the business world and make them act on this approach.

METI has developed Market Formation Potential Index Ver. 2.0, as a tool for a company to visually represent its organizational rule-making capability through a specific project. For companies to understand their current status in terms of forming a new market based on their rule-making capability, METI has conducted a survey targeting 10,000 Japanese companies on their awareness for solving social challenges through their business activities. In this survey, METI has invited five experts to calculate required standard levels, and set the average figures as Expert Standards. The team of experts consisted of three academic experts who primarily specialize in the deployment of innovation and new technologies in society and entrepreneur education (Expert A, B, and C). The other two experts were from financial institutions (Expert D and E).

[transcosmos initiatives towards rule-making]
With the aim of growing the company and creating a sustainable society through maximizing the well-being of its people, clients and society, transcosmos is engaging in various business activities including developing new market rules. For example, transcosmos has co-established SNS Counseling Association in partnership with other related parties, recognizing the fact that the mainstream of bullying helplines has shifted from a phone-based consultation to social networking services (SNS). The association not only provides counseling sessions but also sets standard skill levels required for SNS counselors and runs counselor education courses. Committed to our purpose to expand our social impact as a business and ultimately maximize the well-being of society as a whole through solving social challenges, we, transcosmos, are engaging in meaningful business activities to become a Sustainable Transformation (SX) Partner for all.

By

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Spatial Labs, a cutting-edge technology and design company, introduces their first fashion collection – Core Powered by Circle—a revolutionary step forward in fashion and how we connect with each other.

The Core collection is the first to leverage the new innovative platform Circle, which transforms the way we engage, share, and build relationships. Core marks the beginning of a new era in personal expression and connection – setting a new standard for fashion and for global brands.

The Core collection embodies Spatial Labs’ commitment to innovation, self-expression, and cultural impact. Each piece offers a new way to interact, making fashion a living reflection of personal identity.

The debut Core collection features essential pieces including Core Tee $120, Core Crewneck $220, Core pants $250 and Core Hoodie $320. The collection comes in five colorways including: Arctic, Titanium, Carbon, Rust, and Moss. The Core collection is made in Los Angeles and debuts online and at the flagship store in Culver City at The Platform, where customers can explore the future of fashion and experience the technology firsthand.

“Our vision with Circle is to build a platform that allows people to interact with the world around them in ways never before possible,” said Iddris Sandu, Founder & CEO of Spatial Labs.

“In a world where our connections have become fragmented and often impersonal, Circle is reimagining how we share and preserve moments. It’s not just about social networks; it’s about building a new interaction layer where everyday objects and experiences tell our stories in real-time.”

Sandu continued: “With Core and Circle, we’re pioneering a future where the objects we own,wear and touch are gateways to personal memories and shared experiences. This is not some far-off vision—it’s here, today, and it’s creating opportunities for everyone to showcase their lives in ways that feel more intimate, more authentic, and ultimately more human.”

Each item in the Core collection is embedded with smart chip technology linked to Circle which allows users to personalize their clothing. Circle users can post to their feed using “Tiles” to share photos, videos, links, playlists, and more moments from their daily life, creating deeper connections and fostering a sense of community. And it all comes to life when users tap the Tag on each other’s clothing.

Circle offers an alternative space for individuals to express themselves, allowing users to share their lives more authentically and intimately. Unlike traditional social media sharing tools that often feel impersonal, overly curated, and limiting, Circle keeps you and your close circle of friends connected, enabling a depth of presence to share your stories in real time without any expectations of maintaining a perfect image.
