New Strategic Capital Business Partnership Agreement
Digital Entertainment Asset Pte. Ltd. (DEA) has officially announced its new strategic partnership with a capital investment of up to 1 billion yen. This initiative aims to integrate innovative solutions that address social issues through gaming and financial services. By leveraging their combined strengths, both organizations seek to create a positive social impact while pursuing economic growth.
Objectives of the Partnership
Founded in Singapore in 2018, DEA operates a Play-to-Earn (P2E) gaming platform called "PlayMining" and an NFT marketplace, issuing its unique cryptocurrency, DEAPcoin (DEP). DEA has previously collaborated with power companies to launch a social contribution game, "PicTrée," which successfully employed gamification to address societal challenges.
Recognizing DEA's established digital economy build using blockchain technology, the partnering companies see significant market expansion potential across various business sectors. The strategic partnership is set to focus on the following areas:
1.
Joint Development of Gamification Solutions: Together, the companies will create solutions that utilize gamification to tackle societal challenges. This effort will include collaborative sales strategies targeting businesses of all sizes, from large corporations to small enterprises.
2.
Data Management and New Business Models: By managing user behavioral data on the blockchain, they will build new business models focused on data utilization. This data-centric approach aims to maximize profitability while enhancing user experiences.
Through this strategic alliance, the companies aspire to expand revenue opportunities not only within their business realms but also for the private equity (PE) investees affiliated with the firm.
First Initiative
The first collaborative venture involves Bio Search, a U.S.-originated bio-intelligence firm that holds a majority share under the investment of JIA. They plan to develop and market "Focus Pocus," a game designed to enhance human resources and skills development within the health tech domain. This collaboration is anticipated to broaden educational outreach and development in those fields.
