Business overview

Business Overview

HeartCore Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: HTCR) is a Tokyo-based consulting and software services company. Historically known as a software developer in Japan specializing in Customer Experience Management (CXM) and Digital Transformation (DX) solutions, the company has undergone a major strategic pivot. HeartCore now primarily focuses on its flagship 'Go IPO' consulting business, which assists Japanese and other Asian corporate clients in navigating the complex process of listing their shares on U.S. stock exchanges (such as Nasdaq, NYSE, or NYSE American). To support this transition, the company divested its Japanese software subsidiary, HeartCore Co., Ltd. ('HeartCore Japan'), in October 2025, and established Higgs Field Co., Ltd. as its new operating platform in Japan to drive financial services and capital markets-related activities.
