■ About the Real-time Q&A Support System "Live-QA"
"Live-QA" is a solution that supports Q&A sessions at press conferences, IR briefings, and other events in real-time using generative AI.
By instantly analyzing the flow of questions, organizing discussion points, and suggesting potential answers, it enables preparation for responses to be "fast-tracked" while maintaining accuracy and consistency in explanations. This prevents silences and information discrepancies that often occur during Q&A sessions, facilitating smooth team responses.
Through this solution, FNL aims to support the advancement of corporate public relations, IR, and accountability, and proposes a new form of communication support utilizing generative AI.
We believe this award recognizes the following points:
Novelty of real-time support utilizing generative AI
High suitability for practical issues in the IR and public relations domains
Practicality and immediacy based on team operations
Potential contribution to the advancement of future corporate communication
■ Future Outlook
Taking this award as an opportunity, FNL will further evolve the utilization of AI in the communication domain, which supports corporate decision-making and accountability.
In critical corporate communications such as IR, public relations, and management explanations, accuracy, consistency, and immediacy are increasingly demanded.
To address these challenges, our company will leverage the knowledge cultivated in the media and entertainment domains, including "Live-QA," to create new value in communication among people, companies, and society.
■ About the "Japan New Business Award"
Amidst the growing startup industry in Japan, large and small companies are also accelerating efforts to create new value internally. As open innovation and cross-industry collaboration advance, established companies are also required to take on challenges comparable to startups. However, the efforts of internal corporate entrepreneurs have not received sufficient attention until now. Therefore, a group of companies supporting new business development, including the business card app "Eight," gathered to establish the "Japan New Business Award" in 2024. This award recognizes internal corporate challenges, as well as initiatives that have grown through open innovation such as internal and external co-creation and cross-industry collaboration.
The third edition of the award held its final judging on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, at the "Startup JAPAN 2026" exhibition. The judging was conducted in a presentation format by businesses that passed the preliminary document screening, and each award was determined by the evaluation of the judges.
