Biz Freak operates Sendai AI Lab (SAL), a community where AI talent in the Tohoku region connects, learns, and co-creates.

Sendai AI Lab is an AI community designed to enable AI engineers, researchers, students, and business professionals to exchange knowledge and pursue new challenges beyond organizational or professional boundaries.

As AI technologies—especially generative AI—rapidly evolve, creating environments where diverse talents connect and co-create new value is essential to bring research and technology to society.

Through monthly "SendAI Meetup" events and other activities such as technical presentations, lightning talks, and workshops, Sendai AI Lab provides a space where participants—from beginners to experienced practitioners—can learn and network.

Through its participation in TOHOKU AI GROUP, Biz Freak will further expand connections between cutting-edge research from universities and research institutions and the companies, engineers, and students within the Sendai AI Lab community, promoting the creation of an ecosystem where new AI projects and innovations emerge from the Tohoku region.
