Cellid, Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Satoshi Shiraga; hereinafter "Cellid"), a developer of displays and spatial recognition engines for next-generation AR glasses, announced on March 24 that it has been selected for the "SusHi Tech Global Growth Acceleration Program (Phase 1)," a startup support initiative promoted by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. The company will use this opportunity to accelerate technical development and the establishment of mass production systems for the commercialization of its AR glasses.
Cellid is internationally recognized for its proprietary waveguide technology (lenses for AR glasses) and spatial recognition engines, which enable lightweight, high-performance AR glasses. The company has received accolades such as the "Display Component of the Year" at SID Display Week, the most prestigious international conference in the display industry. Following its selection for "SusHi Tech Global" in February 2026, the company's technical capabilities and commitment to social implementation have now led to its selection for this growth acceleration program.
Accelerating Social Implementation and Commercialization of AR Glasses
Cellid develops waveguide technology and the "Cellid SLAM" spatial recognition engine to realize lightweight, high-performance AR glasses. While glass materials have traditionally been the mainstream for waveguides, Cellid has achieved practical application using plastic materials, enabling the development of lighter and more comfortable AR glasses. The company is also conducting verification tests for practical use, such as remote work support in Shibuya Ward and shopping experience trials in convenience stores.
Transitioning to Mass Production and Commercialization
The company is collaborating with global enterprises to advance the development of AR glasses and is ramping up efforts toward mass production and market entry. With this selection, Cellid will leverage financial and hands-on support to accelerate its journey from technical development to mass production and global expansion.
Background of Selection
On February 16, 2026, Cellid was selected as one of the companies for the second cohort of "SusHi Tech Global," promoted by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. From among those selected companies, Cellid has now been chosen for the "Growth Acceleration Program (Phase 1)."
