TOKYO, Feb 27, 2019 - (JCN Newswire) - NTT DOCOMO, INC. and Spacemarket, Inc. will collaborate in webcast events staged at various venues, including traditional residences, public spaces, restaurants and even temples, for shared experiences. As part of the initiative, NTT DOCOMO Ventures, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of DOCOMO, acquired an equity stake in Spacemarket on December 27, 2018.

DOCOMO offers various services for webcasting sports and entertainment in collaboration with outside partners, by leveraging its customer-subscription base and cutting-edge mobile technologies. Spacemarket operates an online platform offering hourly rentals of venues at more than 10,000 properties across Japan.
