Aillis, Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Sho Okiyama; hereinafter "the Company") announces that it has been selected as one of the partner companies ("Inventors") as of April 23 in the "Woven City Challenge," a program in the test city "Woven City" promoted by Woven by Toyota, Inc., a Toyota Motor Corporation group company, where all goods and services are connected.
The "Woven City Challenge" is a co-creation program that solicits innovative ideas from around the world toward Toyota's goal of "producing happiness for all." This time, it was a public call for startups, and out of hundreds of applications, 10 companies, including our Company, were previously selected as finalists. Subsequently, after a rigorous screening process at the "KAKEZAN 2026" event (invitation-only) held at the "Toyota Woven City Inventor Garage" conducted by Toyota Motor Corporation and Woven by Toyota, Inc. over the 5 days from April 20 to 24, we were adopted as an official partner company. Our innovativeness in creating new value resonated deeply with Woven City's philosophy of "delivering technologies and services to society that will become the norm in the future," and was highly evaluated.
Moving forward, as a member of the "Inventors," the Company will proceed with demonstration and joint development for a maximum of 18 months, utilizing the environment of Woven City, a vast private land with actual residents, while receiving support for the demonstration. Please note that the specific details of the demonstration will remain undisclosed at this time.
