ExaWizards will make ele&company, a provider of hands-on consulting, a subsidiary, combining AI engineering with personnel supporting customers on the ground to establish a structure for accelerating the real-world deployment of AI.
On 8 September 2026, ExaWizards announced that it would make ele&company, which provides hands-on consulting, a subsidiary. The companies will combine ExaWizards' AI engineering capabilities with consulting personnel who work closely with customers in their operational environments, building a structure to accelerate the real-world deployment of AI.
In Japan's business consulting market, the use of generative AI is developing into company-wide transformation, driving increased demand for hands-on support. Predictions from IDC, growth examples from major firms and the results of Accenture research all point to the growing importance of support that helps solutions take root in the field.
ele&company has provided hands-on consulting to major companies, primarily in areas including new business development, sales transformation and project management support. Guided by its mission to “enable self-directed progress, rather than provide ongoing support,” the company has a talent base capable of addressing a broad range of management issues for customers in Japan and overseas. Through the acquisition, ExaWizards aims to generate sales opportunities for its AI products and AI agent development services.
Following the acquisition, ele&company's current management will continue to run the company. The parties aim to strengthen the business through cross-selling to ExaWizards' customer base and by providing career paths for its talent. Going forward, ExaWizards plans to pursue long-term business growth by expanding customer touchpoints starting with hands-on consulting.
