Corporate AI Talent Development Program Enters Second Year; AX Inc. Strengthens Support for "Creating Organizations That Work with AI" Based on Achievements of Over 100 Adoptions and 1,300 Accompanying Projects

AX Inc. (Headquarters: Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture; CEO: Bunta Ishiwata), which operates corporate AI talent development programs, is entering its second year of providing corporate AI talent development programs, including the AI training "AX CAMP" launched in April 2025, and will further strengthen its support for "creating organizations that work with AI."

Starting with "AX CAMP," the company offers support tailored to corporate challenges and phases, such as "AX DIVE," an AI implementation program for executives, and "AI Pro Talent Development Support," a continuous AI accompanying service. From its first year, AX has consistently provided practical implementation-focused support that "doesn't end with training," exceeding 100 contracted companies and reaching a cumulative total of 1,301 accompanying projects (as of February 2026).

Over the past year, the utilization of generative AI has rapidly spread, and the number of companies incorporating AI into their operations is steadily increasing. Now that such a foundation has been established, in its second year, AX will move beyond individual AI utilization to strengthen support for "creating a state where the entire organization works with AI."

Second-Year Policy: "Further Strengthening the Creation of Organizations That Work with AI"

Through its first-year support, AX has created a situation where AI is utilized in operations at 100 companies. Simultaneously, the number of companies incorporating AI into their operations has significantly increased across society, and the number of "people who can use AI" is steadily growing.

In response to these changes, the next step required is to transform individual AI utilization into an organizational strength. In the second year, fiscal year 2026, AX will strengthen its support in the following directions:

- **Organizational-level AI Adoption Support**: Beyond individual training through "AX CAMP," support will be provided for building cross-departmental and company-wide AI utilization mechanisms. - **Enhanced Approach to Management**: Through "AX DIVE," executives themselves will experience AI implementation, establishing a system to drive organizational transformation from the top down. - **Deepening Continuous Support**: Through mid-to-long-term accompaniment with "AI Pro Talent Development Support," AI utilization that "doesn't end with training" will be realized.

Regardless of industry or company size, AX will deliver organization-building that can achieve significant results through AI utilization nationwide.

Background of Over 100 Adoptions and 1,300 Accompanying Projects

From its first year, AX has provided practical implementation-focused support that "doesn't end with training." As a result, it has been chosen by many companies and has achieved the following results:

A key factor behind the adopting companies is the worsening labor shortage. According to a Teikoku Databank survey (2025), around 53% of companies feel a shortage of permanent employees. Furthermore, IDC Japan predicts that the domestic AI system market will expand approximately threefold over the five years from 2024 to 2029.

In response to the challenge of "how to achieve results with the current number of people when it's difficult to increase staff," each service, including "AX CAMP," has been chosen by many companies for its in-depth support for practical AI implementation.

Adopting companies span diverse industries, including advertising/marketing (34.6%), IT/SaaS, manufacturing, real estate, human resources, education, nursing care/welfare, and retail. Company sizes also vary widely, from startups to listed companies, indicating that it is not biased towards a specific industry.

Success Stories from Adopting Companies

Through its first-year support, the following concrete results have been reported:

- A company that achieved a monthly operational reduction of approximately 100 hours by reviewing business processes. - A company that built its own SaaS in one month, reducing outsourcing costs by 1.8 million yen. - A company that achieved operational efficiency equivalent to 3.2 million yen annually and a monthly work reduction of 110 hours. - Cases where AI utilization has spread across multiple departments and operations within a single company, leading to a review of business design premised on AI utilization.

Feedback from actual adopting companies includes comments like: "I was interested in AI but didn't know where to start. They showed us specific ways to utilize it for each task, and we were able to implement it in a practical way," and "The system for regular consultation, which didn't end just with training, helped establish AI within the company."

Based on these first-year achievements and the current environment where AI utilization has spread throughout society, in its second year, AX will further strengthen its support for "creating a state where the entire organization works with AI."

Comment from CEO Bunta Ishiwata

In the first year, we introduced our services to over 100 companies and engaged with many people. Through this, I became convinced that AI is no longer a debate of "whether to introduce it or not," but rather a phase of "how to design the organization assuming AI is present."

I believe that AI is the "fifth management resource," following people, goods, money, and information. It is an entity that should be considered for resource allocation on the same table as human resources, not just a tool for operational efficiency.

What we practice in AX's operations and convey to our client companies is the idea that "room for maneuver" beyond efficiency is the source of an organization's competitiveness. Having this room for maneuver gives rise to ideas like, "Can we entrust more of this work to AI?", leading to the creation of new mechanisms and further increasing that room. This virtuous cycle is what an organization working with AI looks like. In the second year, we will deliver this "creation of organizations that work with AI" to even more companies.
