The startup and exchange-group subsidiary will explore links between private-company data and public markets.

JPX Market Innovation & Research subscribed for new share acquisition rights and acquired shares from existing holders. The value was not disclosed.

The companies also signed a memorandum to discuss private-share liquidity, data and market infrastructure, and information services for startups and investors. These are proposed areas of cooperation rather than a completed integration.
