Background and Objectives
As a food content platform company, T-NEXT’s mission is to spread the wonders of food and deliver new excitement and happiness to people around the world. Since its establishment, the company has acquired global licenses for leading food content brands, including Ramen, Sweets, Yakitori, Wagyu beef, Curry, and many others, while achieving partnerships with top-tier companies worldwide. Furthermore, numerous leading food content brands have already expressed their participation in T-NEXT’s platform, and the company is expected to form partnerships with hundreds of partners on a global scale in the future.
T-NEXT has established the joint venture “Jet Next” in collaboration with JL Group. JL Group operates a diverse range of businesses globally, including food and beverage, retail, IT, entertainment, marketing, and packaging manufacturing. It also engages in various food-related businesses across India. Through this joint venture, T-NEXT is developing a food content platform business in India.
On the other hand, the YOUKI FOOD Group, as a food manufacturer, specializing in Chinese and ethnic cuisine, offering a wide range of seasonings and ingredients essential to the global gourmet scene. Additionally, the company has achieved further globalization through its partnership with McCormick, the No.1 spice manufacturer in the United States. Today, YOUKI FOOD Group has grown into one of Japan’s leading food manufacturers, capable of providing comprehensive proposals, from appetizers to desserts and beverages.
By selling the products offered by the YOUKI FOOD Group, including essential seasonings and ingredients for the global gourmet scene centered around McCormick, using Jet Next’s strong domestic network and expertise in India, it was determined that a significant market share could be secured in India’s food-related market, a spice-driven culture and the world’s largest and fastest-growing population. Therefore, T-NEXT has entered into an exclusive general distributor agreement in India with the YOUKI FOOD Group.
At T-NEXT, our core business is the “Food Content Platform,” and we aim to expand our operations globally. By doing so, we plan to achieve an IPO on the NASDAQ market in the United States and target a corporate value exceeding $100 billion (approximately 15 trillion yen), while contributing to the happiness of all humanity.
