[For New Business Managers & Executives] Launch of 'Wellness Business Academy' to Support Business Creation with 'Wellness x AI' - Accompanying you to concrete business realization in the accelerating wellness market -

Background: The Rapidly Growing Wellness Market and the Evolution of AI as a Business Development Assistant

In recent years, interest in implementing concepts such as "wellness" and "well-being" in business has grown, and the wellness market continues to expand globally. However, many companies and individuals face challenges in concrete business design, such as "where to enter the market" and "how to monetize."

Furthermore, with the advancement of AI technology, it has become realistic to use AI as a "business assistant" to support information gathering, market analysis, and the construction of business model design frameworks at each step of business development. This allows business development, which previously relied on limited experience and resources, to proceed based on a wider range of information and multifaceted perspectives, creating an environment where everything from conceptualization to business plan detailing and even document creation can be efficiently promoted.

The global wellness business market is projected to grow at an average annual rate of 7.6% until 2029.

Features of the 'Wellness Business Academy'

This academy is designed not merely as a knowledge provider but as a hands-on program directly linked to business creation.

* Understanding the structure of the wellness market and exploring opportunities * Business model design utilizing AI * Concrete realization of service concepts * Revenue model design and validation * Support for transitioning to the execution phase

With these features, the aim is to realize "feasible businesses" beyond the idea stage.

Reasons to Enter the Market "Now"

Following the rapid growth of the global wellness business market, Japan's wellness market is also at a turning point from its dawn to growth phase.

Because the market structure is not yet solidified, there is significant room for establishing a position through new market entry, making it a prime time to gain a first-mover advantage.

Especially with the utilization of AI, it is now possible to launch businesses with small teams and low costs, greatly lowering the hurdles for new ventures.

Recommended For:

* Corporate personnel looking to launch new businesses in the wellness domain. * Executives feeling the limitations of their existing businesses and exploring new areas. * Individuals who understand how to use and select generative AI and wish to apply it practically in new business development. * Those who want to learn how to grasp market opportunities and design concrete business models in the wellness sector. * Individuals who want to acquire the know-how to translate ideas into business plans and concretize them into actionable forms. * Those who sense market opportunities but are unsure about the specific steps to take.
