Valuence
Company Website
2023 YBM Contest Theme (English)

Valuence is a company that takes pride in being part of a growing movement encouraging sustainability and protecting the environment by purchasing and selling pre-owned assets such as luxury brand goods, antiques, art, and sports memorabilia. 

Unlike the traditional make, use and dispose economy, Valuence’s business model focuses on a circular economy, which is restorative and regenerative by design. 

In recent years, people’s concern for the environment, and disrupted global supply chains have led to changes in consumer behaviors, notably gravitation towards purchasing pre-owned assets.

​For the 2023 YBM contest, Valuence asks participating teams to consider “sleeping assets” and present on innovative ideas of how they can be acquired and returned to the market.
2023 YBM Contest Theme (Japanese)

Valuence は、高級ブランド品、骨董品、美術品、スポーツ記念品などの中古品の買取·販売を通じて、ますます拡大する持続可能性と環境保護を奨励する運動の一翼を担っていることを誇りにしている会社です。

Valuenceのビジネスモデルは、従来の製造、使用、廃棄の経済とは異なり、修復と再生のための循環型経済であることに重点を置いています。

近年、人々の環境への関心やグローバルサプライチェーンの混乱により、消費者の行動は変化しており、特に中古品の購入に注目が集まっています。

2023年のYBMコンテストでは、 Valuenceは参加チームに「眠っている資産」について考え、それをどのように入手し、市場に戻すことができるのか、革新的な方法を提示するよう求めています。
