Linkers Inc. Takes Bold Steps with Office Move and Brand Revamp

Linkers Inc., headquartered in Minato Ward, Tokyo, specializing in connecting technology and businesses, has announced its relocation to a new office scheduled for November 27, 2025. This move coincides with a comprehensive rebranding effort, which includes changes to the company logo, brand colors, and a redefined vision and mission. The goal is to accelerate the realization of its vision of becoming a 'global platform for technology distribution.'

Background and Objectives of Rebranding

Since its inception, Linkers has centered its operations on bridging technology and companies through open innovation and technology matching. With the increasing importance of technology distribution for collaboration and research and development between businesses, the company is actively expanding its operations and restructuring its organizational framework. The relocation and rebranding are aimed at strengthening the foundation for sustainable growth and accelerating global expansion.

Evolving into a Global Platform

Moving beyond the perception of being a domestic matching service, Linkers aims to align its image with the envisioned future of a 'global platform for technology distribution.' This strategic shift is set to enhance its recognition in global markets.

Strengthening Business and Organizational Foundations

With a vision of growth from hundreds to thousands of employees, Linkers is focused on rebuilding a strong brand foundation that supports both business expansion and organizational development.

Co-creation with Diverse Stakeholders

The new brand identity clearly communicates Linkers' goals and values, facilitating deeper 'innovation chains' with partner companies and talents, both domestically and internationally.

New Brand Identity and Concept

In this rebranding initiative, the company has redefined its logo, brand colors, vision, and mission. The new identity symbolizes Linkers' core values: 'Connection,' 'Challenge,' and 'Co-creation.'

Brand Concept Statement

• - Brand Concept: The Chain of Innovation
• - Brand Statement: Linkers embodies a presence that signifies change through interconnectivity, strength that remains unbroken, and the genuine warmth of ingenuity.

Intent Behind the New Logo Design

The updated logo transforms the 'link' symbol, representing a chain, from two-dimensional to three-dimensional. This simple yet powerful design, consisting of two interlinked rings, creates numerous shapes and silhouettes, serving as the cornerstone of Linkers' new identity and key to gaining recognition in global markets.

The two rings represent matching companies, technologies, and individuals, while also symbolizing Linkers' vast potential as an organization. The blue color of the rings reflects the seas and skies that connect continents, embodying the essence of technology. Meanwhile, the red at the intersection signifies the spark of innovation.

New Office Details

To accommodate an expected increase in employees and to reassess work styles, Linkers has relocated its headquarters, focusing on not just enlarging office space but also creating an environment that stimulates creativity and diverse connections through innovative workspace design.

Concept of the New Office

The design theme for the new office emphasizes 'Co-creation,' 'Sustainability,' and 'Openness.'

Spatial Design

The office promotes spontaneous communication and co-creation through an open layout. Additionally, by incorporating calming colors and vibrant greenery, it aims to foster a comfortable atmosphere that enhances employee engagement.

Location and Operational Start Date

• - New Address: 29th floor of Sumitomo Real Estate Mita Garden Tower, 3-5-19 Mita, Minato, Tokyo
• - Operational Start Date: November 27, 2025

Moving forward, Linkers will use this new office as a hub for promoting collaboration among academia, industry, and government while strengthening global partnerships.
