Aitane Receives 30 Million JPY CVC Investment from S Technology to Accelerate Social Implementation of AI Glasses Supporting Face-to-Face Sales

Aitane Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Junichiro Aida; hereinafter "Aitane") has received a 30 million JPY investment through corporate venture capital (CVC) from S Technology Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Taito-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Minoru Kanazawa; hereinafter "S Technology"), a company with expertise in mobile communications, IoT, and AI technologies.

Through this strategic partnership, Aitane’s AI agent—designed to automate sales-related administrative tasks—will be integrated with S Technology’s IoT and device control technologies. This collaboration will accelerate the practical deployment of next-generation sales AI, including the use of "AI glasses" in both online and face-to-face sales environments, optimized for real-world field conditions.

Background of the Partnership: Freeing Sales Staff from Administrative Tasks to Focus on Selling

Currently, many sales teams face a heavy burden from administrative tasks such as meeting preparation, minute-taking, and data entry into SFA (Sales Force Automation) systems. As a result, sales professionals often lack sufficient time to focus on their core responsibility: engaging in meaningful conversations with customers.

Aitane has developed its proprietary "AI agent" based on deep operational insights gained through years of AI outsourcing projects. This agent supports sales teams throughout the entire process—before, during, and after meetings. Beyond online sales, Aitane is also advancing the in-house development of "AI glasses" and integrating them with various devices to deliver real-time AI support in face-to-face sales scenarios.

Significance of the Partnership: Strengthening Technical Foundations for Real-World, Not Just Theoretical, Deployment

For wearable devices like AI glasses to be effective in face-to-face sales, robust infrastructure is essential—especially in unstable outdoor communication environments or noisy field settings.

S Technology is a team of professionals with extensive experience in developing mobile communication systems and IoT control solutions for smart agriculture and industrial factories. By combining Aitane’s AI algorithms with S Technology’s expertise in communications and IoT, this partnership will rapidly advance the social implementation of sales AI that functions reliably in real-world conditions—not just in theory.

Comments from the CEOs

Minoru Kanazawa, CEO, S Technology Co., Ltd.

"Since our founding, we have been committed to developing technologies that support the 'foundation of society,' such as communication infrastructure and IoT control, driven by our mission to bring 'security, joy, and prosperity' to people.

Through this journey, we have come to realize that for AI technology to truly permeate society, it is not enough to have sound theories—we must deeply understand the real environments where it will be used.

As an engineer myself, I am deeply impressed by Aitane’s CEO Junichiro Aida and his team’s sincere dedication to technology, as well as their youthful energy and innovative thinking.

I want to fully support the next generation of entrepreneurs and engineers who are striving to bring new technologies into society.

This sentiment is shared across our leadership. The decision to invest was made unanimously by our board, driven by a collective desire to support this bold initiative.

Aitane’s vision of a world where sales professionals can fully focus on human interaction aligns perfectly with our own mission of 'security and joy.'

By leveraging our expertise in communications and IoT, along with our group companies’ hands-on implementation experience in manufacturing environments, we will act not just as investors but as co-creation partners, fully committed to realizing AI solutions that are truly used in the field."

Junichiro Aida, CEO, Aitane Inc.

"We sincerely thank Mr. Kanazawa and all stakeholders at S Technology for their strong support and confidence in our mission.

At Aitane, we have been dedicated to building proprietary products that enable sales professionals to focus entirely on their core mission: engaging with customers.

However, unlike online meetings, face-to-face sales present infrastructure and hardware challenges—such as unstable connectivity and environmental noise—that cannot be overcome by software alone.

Therefore, this partnership represents far more than just fundraising; it is of critical strategic importance to us.

S Technology’s proven technical capabilities in mobile communications and IoT device control, honed in demanding real-world environments, are the essential key to transforming our AI into a system that truly works in the field.

Inspired by Mr. Kanazawa’s passionate words of support for next-generation innovation and backed by the strong support from S Technology’s team, we will accelerate the social implementation of next-generation sales AI by integrating our respective expertise.

We will continue to move swiftly, leveraging technology to fundamentally transform the nature of sales and realize a society where people can create uniquely human value."
