Building an AI/RPA Business Platform through AI-Focused Organizations, Media and Accelerators

「We have been building a business foundation in the AI and RPA fields for some time. In 2016, we established the AI specialist organization dip AI.Lab and began operating AINOW, Japan’s first specialist artificial intelligence media outlet. From 2017, we have supported the development of venture companies through AI.Accelerator, Japan’s first accelerator program specializing in artificial intelligence startups. Going forward, we will develop and provide services using AI and RPA while leveraging the broad and strong network of AI- and RPA-related companies and talent developed through these initiatives, together with the solid business foundation established through our human resources services business.」

「Specifically, in 2016 we established the AI specialist organization dip AI.Lab and began operating AINOW, Japan’s first specialist artificial intelligence media outlet, which has since grown into a leading media outlet in the AI field. In 2017, we also launched AI.Accelerator, Japan’s first accelerator program specializing in artificial intelligence startups. To date, approximately 600 AI- and RPA-related startups have applied, of which more than 60 were selected. As a result of providing comprehensive support to help the selected companies achieve significant growth, we made investments in 13 companies.」
