[NGO x AI] CROSS Business Producers Promotes DX in the Non-Profit Sector: Begins Building Social Issue Resolution Models with International NGOs Using AI

CROSS Business Producers Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Kotoba Miki; hereinafter referred to as "the Company"), a professional firm specializing in business development, has begun discussions regarding the implementation of "CROSS Graph," an AI platform product developed by the Company, with international cooperation NGOs working to support developing countries. By supporting international NGOs in streamlining their operations and structuring their knowledge, the Company will contribute to improving the sustainability of aid for developing countries in an era of shrinking donation markets.

■ Background

The Company received the "Best Leadership Award 2022" in Dubai in 2022 and was selected as one of "5 Best Management Consulting Firms to Watch 2022" by The Silicon Review magazine in the same year, and has been developing future creation support that fuses future forecasting and business design.

"CROSS Graph," an AI knowledge tool developed and released in December 2025, is being increasingly adopted in the corporate sector as a tool that supports AI-based knowledge structuring and strategic decision-making for companies and organizations.

Recently, international NGOs operating on the front lines of solving social issues expressed interest in "CROSS Graph" as an operational efficiency tool to "create maximum social impact with limited resources," leading to the start of this partnership as the Company's first implementation partner in the non-profit sector.

■ Challenges Faced by the Non-Profit Sector

The individual donation market in Japan has continued to stagnate in recent years, and NGOs in the field of international cooperation, in particular, are facing a difficult financial environment. Many international NGOs active in developing countries, including regions like Bangladesh and the Republic of Benin, conduct independence support programs for women and youth living in poverty, but there is an urgent need to balance "maintaining and improving the quality of field support" with "streamlining organizational operations."

This challenge is not limited to specific organizations but is a structural problem facing the entire Japanese NGO industry, and the Company regards this as a highly socially significant initiative.

■ Support Provided by "CROSS Graph"

In this initiative, we will examine the potential use of "CROSS Graph" in the following three areas:

1. Visualization and Streamlining of Business Processes:
   Structuring knowledge related to complex NGO operations (project management, fundraising, donor reporting, coordination with local partners, etc.) to significantly improve operational efficiency.

2. Accumulation and Succession of Organizational Knowledge:
   Systematizing the know-how and tacit knowledge of aid for developing countries cultivated in the field using AI to strengthen organizational sustainability.

3. Support for Strategic Decision-Making:
   AI support for data-driven business planning and maximizing the impact of support activities.

■ Expected Social Impact

• Work-style reform for NGO staff: Reduction in work hours allows more resources to be allocated to field support.

• Improvement in transparency: Strengthening accountability to donors and realizing highly reliable organizational management.

• Strengthening organizational sustainability: Shortening the training period for young staff and improving the knowledge level of the entire organization.

• Ripple effect on the entire industry: Providing advanced DX case studies to the entire Japanese NGO sector, etc.

Through this initiative, the Company will return the knowledge gained to the entire domestic non-profit sector and contribute to "accelerating the resolution of social issues through AI x fact data x future forecasting."

■ Future Developments

We aim to begin test implementation with partner NGOs during fiscal year 2026, and after verifying the effectiveness, aim for full-scale implementation. Furthermore, using this case as a model, we are considering providing "CROSS Graph" to other NGOs and NPO organizations, promoting digital transformation and organizational sustainability for the entire non-profit sector.

■ Comment from President Kotoba Miki

"I am very honored to be able to deliver the future forecasting, new business development, and AI technology that we have cultivated in the business world to the front lines of solving social issues. Together with the international NGO staff who are working to support lives in developing countries, we want to create a new model where technology can contribute to society. We hope that this challenge will lead to a transformation of the entire Japanese non-profit sector."
