Luup Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Daiki Okai; hereinafter "Luup") and Osaka City's Kita, Konohana, and Suminoe Wards are pleased to announce that they have signed a partnership agreement concerning the verification of joint port utilization on public land for shared bicycles and other services, effective April 23, 2026 (Thu).

This is because promoting shared bicycles and other services can lead to increased visitor circulation, improved mobility convenience for citizens, CO2 reduction, and measures against abandoned bicycles, contributing to environmental protection and health promotion.
