Bizmates,Inc. will make With The World, which conducts online international exchange programs with more than 500 schools in 67 countries worldwide, a subsidiary through the acquisition of shares. The acquisition is scheduled for 16 October 2026, and the company is scheduled to become a wholly owned subsidiary through a simplified share exchange on 30 October of the same year. The group plans to expand its business scope.
The two companies aim to create opportunities for collaboration that transcend generations and national borders, including among schools, local governments and companies, going beyond language learning in educational settings. By combining With The World's network with Bizmates,Inc.'s expertise in language learning, they intend to expand settings for practical international collaborative learning.
Founded in 2018, With The World provides online international exchange classes and overseas training programs for students from elementary school through university in Japan. It has a network covering more than 500 schools in 67 countries, mainly in Asia, and supports the learning of more than approximately 20,000 people annually. The company has also received recognition from public and international organisations.
Going forward, the companies will consider providing practical international collaborative learning by leveraging their networks of schools, local governments and corporate customers; creating opportunities by combining corporate training with expertise in international exchange and inquiry-based learning; and enhancing overseas training programs.
