JAKOTA Capital Backs Nobias European Studios’ K-Pop Camps Business
December 2, 2024, Zurich – Paris – JAKOTA Capital AG, an investment and advisory firm headquartered in Zurich and focused on servicing and investing in Japan, Korea, Taiwan (JAKOTA) and Hong Kong economies, predominantly in the broadly defined media industry, has established a fully owned subsidiary in Paris, France, called JAKOTA Games & Reels SAS.
JAKOTA Games & Reels SAS will invest in marketing and sales of Asian entertainment IP in the European continent, specifically focusing on music, games and drama shorts, the up-and-coming new rich media content format originating from Asia.
“Asian companies clearly have a global edge in innovation and ability to generate export quality IP appealing to younger generation of consumers worldwide, and JAKOTA Capital is uniquely positioned to assist as both investor and European business development partner to Asian entertainment IP companies,” commented Ms. Naomi Shann (Shann Shu Jiun, 單庶君), Chief Operating Officer of JAKOTA Capital AG.
In its first investment, JAKOTA Capital AG backed Nobias European Studios SA, a Lisbon based media company, with its business expansion aimed at launching and operating K-Pop camps and dance classes in Portugal and eventually other European markets. JAKOTA Capital supported Nobias European Studios SA with an investment and introductions to several K-Pop companies from South Korea that already have very elaborate K-Pop education and programming back in Seoul and are seeking to expand their reach to Europe.
“We are delighted to partner with JAKOTA Capital and thrilled to report that our first K-Pop event to be held in Lisbon on December 21 has been sold out within the hours from the moment it was announced, evidencing the seemingly insatiable appetite of young European consumers for highly engaging Asian IP-based cultural events in Europe,” commented Ms. Leonilde Jesus, Head of Music & Entertainment at Nobias European Studios SA.
