Lotte Ventures Japan Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Chairman & Representative Director: Takashi Sawada) hereby announces that it has executed an investment, through a third-party allotment of new shares, in BONX Inc. (Head Office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director & CEO: Takahiro Miyasaka; hereinafter “BONX”), a company engaged in the planning, development, and sales of voice communication platforms and hearable devices.
BONX was founded to realize CEO Takahiro Miyasaka’s vision of “being able to talk while skiing down a mountain.” The company develops and provides the BONX series—voice communication tools including mobile applications and earphone devices—designed for use across a wide range of everyday and professional settings. While collaboration tools such as Zoom and Slack have significantly evolved for desk workers, communication tools for deskless workers—such as those in retail, logistics, hospitality, and other on-site roles—have largely remained limited to traditional transceivers and mobile phones, with minimal innovation.
Since launching its products in 2017, BONX has steadily expanded its enterprise adoption, not only addressing on-site communication challenges but also serving as a gateway to digital transformation (DX) in field operations. The company has continuously enhanced its communication infrastructure and product design. Furthermore, through its capital and business alliance with NTT Sonority Co., Ltd., BONX is entering a new phase of transformation. We believe this milestone will enable BONX to significantly improve on-site work environments, delivering safer and more efficient operational settings.
Recognizing the strong potential for further technological advancement and accelerated enterprise adoption, we have decided to invest in BONX. In addition to providing sales support, we will leverage our domestic and international assets to assist in the company’s business expansion.
We will continue to identify and support entrepreneurs who are sincerely committed to achieving bold visions and ambitious goals, providing comprehensive support across management and business development.
For further details regarding this funding, please refer to BONX’s official announcement.
