ABOUT

Creating more companies in

Japan that are capable of

creating new digital businesses.

MISSION

Democratizing tacit knowledge

Discover sophisticated tacit knowledge, which is held only by certain people and has become a black box, then turn it into a business by unraveling it with sophisticated mathematical skills and extensive industry knowledge. Transform it into a system through the power to develop a model—toward the democratization of “knowledge” so that anyone can use it.

VISION

A Japan where people can work with confidence

The technology we have built up so far will become a tool that can compete on a global scale.

To maximize the value of technological capabilities that lie dormant within companies,
we will launch digital businesses and create 'convenience' for many people around the world.
This will become a new value and generate new ways of working and new organizations.
With Arent's concept of DX, we will work together to create an environment where Japanese companies and businesspeople can work with confidence.

Chart: Domains in the Construction Market

Construction 60 trillion

Generating waves of business creation
from the construction market—the second largest market in Japan.

In Japan, the construction market is said to be the second largest one after the automobile industry, and it is facing a major turning point not only due to BIM becoming an integral part of the industry, but also due to the working hours cap imposed under the 36 Agreement (“Notification of Agreement on Working Overtime or on Days Off” stipulated in Article 36 of the Labor Standards Act). Our aim is to develop digital systems both within the company and through co-creation for solving the issues in the industry and to replace the existing systems with the new ones.
