coconala Inc. will establish a joint venture with Elith, which places priority on AI safety, and begin developing and providing AI security products for businesses. It will initially focus on creating an environment that supports the safe operation of AI.
At its board meeting on 13 October 2026, coconala Inc. resolved to establish a joint venture with Elith, which conducts research and product development related to AI safety, and entered into a joint venture agreement on the same day. The new company will combine coconala Inc.’s corporate customer base with Elith’s AI research and development capabilities, initially providing products that enable companies to use AI safely.
Elith conducts AI research and development and implements AI solutions for companies, and provides the GENFLUX series.

Looking ahead, the AI company plans to strengthen its structure for providing integrated support, from AI implementation through safe operation, and to further promote the use of AI.
