On one hand, NIMO plans to collaborate with top musicians, record labels, and content creators to establish a global network of music partners. By tailoring content creation and community operations to the musical styles and user preferences of different regions, NIMO aims to build a more diverse pan-entertainment content consumption ecosystem. On the other hand, NIMO will continue to actively explore crossover collaborations with various fields, and expand partnerships with global entertainment companies, technology platforms and cultural events, to tap into the substantial commercial value within the pan-entertainment sector.
