[About GMO DesignOne]
GMO Design One develops IT services, including portal sites, to make everyone's lives more discoverable and enriching. These services act as a bridge connecting "consumers" searching for attractive shops and services with "businesses" that provide valuable products. Each encounter increases the number of shop fans and brings vitality to the town. By spreading this virtuous cycle throughout Japan, we will drive the revitalization of local economies, which will ultimately lead to the development of the Japanese economy and the realization of our mission of "Invigorating the World."
