Cellid Selected for Tokyo Metropolitan Government's Growth Acceleration Program

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 AR glasses. Cellid is internationally recognized for its proprietary waveguide technology (lenses for AR glasses) and spatial recognition engines, which enable lightweight and high-performance AR glasses. The company previously received the "Display Component of the Year" award at "SID Display Week," the most prestigious international conference in the display industry. Following its selection as a "SusHi Tech Global" company 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 firms and advancing the development of AR glasses, with efforts toward mass production and market entry now in full swing. With this selection, Cellid will leverage financial and hands-on support to integrate its efforts 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 the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's "SusHi Tech Global" initiative. From among those selected companies, Cellid has now been chosen for the "Growth Acceleration Program (Phase 1)."
