(ATG). The objective is to optimize the performance of specialty glass substrates through joint R&D, adapt them to processing workflows, and expand into growth areas such as glass substrates for TGV and semiconductor support glass. Specifically, we will combine ATG\u2019s advanced glass substrate technology with Kuramoto Manufacturing\u2019s precision machining and evaluation capabilities to advance cooperation in procurement, supply chain linkage, and market development. The contract period is initial two years with automatic renewal possibility.\n\n### Outlook and impact going forward\nThis MOU establishes basic principles; specific investment amounts, production, and sales are not yet determined. Going forward, we will prepare toward formal agreement, define the details of the contract and joint R&D projects in separate agreements.
