VALUENEX, Inc. (Head Office: Suginami Ward, Tokyo; President and CEO: Munefumi Kikuchi), the provider of the route search service "Ekispart," will renew its corporate logo upon reaching its 50th anniversary in July 2026. The new corporate logo will be progressively implemented starting today. Our company was established in July 1976 with the business objective of "Research and Development of Very Advanced Language (VAL) = more advanced computer languages." Subsequently, in 1988, we released Japan's first route search service8, "Ekispart." In recent years, based on the technology and know-how cultivated through the "Ekispart" business, we have been developing and supporting MaaS platforms. We have continued to grow to support Japanese mobility through "route search" for a long time, and are currently challenging further evolution, such as developing new AI-powered features. We are deeply grateful to our customers and many other stakeholders for their support, which has allowed us to come this far. We have now decided to renew our corporate logo as a catalyst for our further future, marking the significant milestone of our 50th anniversary. The new corporate logo is characterized by a design that incorporates a bold "stroke" while retaining the strengths of the previous logo. This expresses the surging dynamism and passion for mobility, based on half a century of progress and the founding spirit. It also embodies the determination of all our employees to continue creating further value for society and boldly challenge new frontiers while flexibly adapting to the changing times. 8Japan's first route search service for public transportation (self-researched, survey month: February 1988) ■50th Anniversary Special Website Launched https://www.val.co.jp/50th To commemorate our 50-year journey and express our gratitude for your warm support and patronage, we have launched a special 50th-anniversary website.
