JAYID supported the service update event for a UK-based AI unicorn company. This update significantly enhanced the quality of AI conversations in Japanese, enabling the AI to reproduce nuances like sighs, laughter, dialects, and intonations. We provided comprehensive support for this milestone event, covering various aspects from pre-event attendee acquisition and media outreach to crafting press releases and creating engaging elements to elevate the mood of participants on the day.
JAYID's CEO, Nanako Akiyoshi, has been appointed as an external committee member for the ethics review board of a company developing technology to regenerate parts of the body lost or damaged due to illness, injury, or aging. Regenerative medicine holds immense potential to revolutionize future healthcare. However, precisely because of its advanced nature, strict ethical considerations are indispensable to gain social acceptance and trust. In this cutting-edge field, where active discussions are ongoing within the medical sector, Ms. Akiyoshi will leverage her expertise in public relations and communications. As an external committee member, she will offer objective and multifaceted perspectives to review ethical considerations and provide her insights. She is committed to contributing to the healthy development of this advanced technology and fostering dialogue between it and society.
Expo 2025 Osaka officially opened in April, and we are providing PR support for an upcoming event at a Middle Eastern country's pavilion scheduled for July. In collaboration with both private-sector partners and government bodies, we will help enhance the country’s brand image by effectively showcasing its technological strengths through exhibitions, presentations, and curated guest selections.
We supported the organization of a press conference for an AI company entering the Japanese market for the first time. The event was attended by major national newspapers, key TV networks, business magazines, and industry-specific media. The coverage not only highlighted the background of company’s entry into Japan, but also focused on its strong commitment to ethics and safety—key values it upholds as an AI innovator.
A high-growth AI company from the U.S. is making a full-scale entry into the Japanese market. With its groundbreaking technology, the company is poised to empower high-context languages like Japanese, as well as the country’s unique culture and industries. We are proud to support this expansion and invite you to follow the remarkable growth of this company, which has reached a valuation of over 500 billion yen in just two years since its founding.
