2026: LBMA Japan Activity Policy/New Year’s Greetings
LBMA Japan, established in February 2020, is now in its sixth year and has expanded its membership to 117 companies. Collaborations with government agencies and universities have progressed, and the contours of the location business "industry" are clearly emerging.
However, questions remain about whether we are contributing substantially to the industry as a whole and delivering sufficient value to member companies.
Our guiding principle for 2026 is "Location Public-Private-Academic." We will travel the country and challenge ourselves to create a new business economic sphere that only a non-profit association can create. With honest and positive thoughts, we will continue to work hard this year!

Location Weekly Japan is a podcast run by LBMA Japan (Location Business & Marketing Japan), a general incorporated association that promotes business marketing services using location data. Every week, we interview management and business personnel from member companies, introduce the latest examples of location data usage, and share notable events around the world, as well as behind-the-scenes stories that can only be heard here.
As we are an organization with many IT-related members, you will hear a lot of foreign words, but in this podcast we will introduce examples of how location data is being used in a way that is as easy to understand as possible, so please feel free to listen.
MC: Kuniyuki Kawashima (Representative Director of LBMA Japan)
