INDUSTRIAL-X Shifts to a "Decentralized Holdings Structure" Where "Autonomous Management Owners" Lead Business Companies Alone Alongside AI Agents.

Our company supports April Dream, an initiative to make April 1st a day to share dreams. This press release is the dream of "INDUSTRIAL-X Co., Ltd."

INDUSTRIAL-X Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director and CEO: Tomonori Yako, hereafter "our company"), which supports corporate transformation through data-driven management, has decided to transition to a "decentralized holdings structure" on April 1, 2026, where all employees become independent business managers (presidents) as the ultimate corporate form in the AI era.

Our company has previously supported data-driven transformations through corporate DX and AI utilization. The new structure announced this time is the final form of a corporate organization in a new era where AI plays a central role in the workforce, freeing humans from "tasks" and allowing them to continuously update all industries with the "will to transform" using the intelligence of 1 million people as a weapon.

Background of the Initiative

Until now, corporate organizations have required pyramid-style, centralized "management" for information sharing, decision-making, and resource management. However, in the present day, where AI agents can autonomously perform the majority of complex coordination tasks and practical operations due to the rapid evolution of AI technology, the traditional hierarchical structure has become a bottleneck that hinders the speed of transformation.

Our company defines all employees as "autonomous management owners" who promote business by fully utilizing AI, and will evolve into a "next-generation guild-type organization" where independent innovators gather with a shared aspiration and the strongest weapon (Knowledge DB). This is a challenge to dismantle the "company for management" and redefine it as a "platform to accelerate transformation." This platform constitutes a common "Industrial Transformation OS: IX-Core" that underpins all leaders promoting AI transformation who participate in the guild, serving as a shared infrastructure where formal and informal knowledge across all industries is aggregated.

Details of the Initiative

Under this structure, each owner will develop an "AI fully tuned business" targeting all industries through the following mechanisms.

1. "Industrial Horizontal Knowledge DB" synchronizing the knowledge of 1 million people

   A "1 million person AI skill database," which structures the skilled techniques, specialized knowledge, and tacit knowledge of the field across all industries such as manufacturing, logistics, construction, and retail, is opened to all owners. By synchronizing this vast knowledge with their own AI agents, each owner can identify issues with the same resolution as an expert with decades of career experience, even in an inexperienced industry, and derive the optimal transformation plan in 0.1 seconds.

2. Commanding an "AI Agent Army" to complete practical tasks

   Each business owner will have multiple AI agents responsible for functions such as sales, marketing, accounting, development, and PM within their "one-person company." The cost of human-to-human coordination, such as recruitment, training, and meetings, becomes zero, and the owner pours all their energy solely into presenting a vision of "what should be done" and the final "management decisions."

3. A "Co-creation Hub" where innovators from all industries gather and knowledge feedback

   This guild will open its doors to external "AI transformation leaders" as well, functioning as a "co-creation hub" where transformation projects from all over Japan gather. Data from the countless transformation processes conducted here will be fed back in real-time to the "Industrial Transformation OS: IX-Core". As a result, the OS becomes smarter by the second, building an "evolutionary spiral of knowledge" where the latest success patterns are shared with all guild members.

4. Introduction of "IX-Physics" to support on-site implementation

   Not limited to digital optimization, in scenes requiring physical on-site implementation, AI-equipped hardware/devices "IX-Physics" will be introduced. Even in sites where legacy equipment remains, physical intervention in conjunction with the AI OS will complete the update of the real world 24 hours a day non-stop.

Future Outlook: A Roadmap to Turn Dreams into Reality

This grand vision is by no means a pipe dream. The "Digital Transformation Self-Checker", recently released by our company to visualize a company's position regardless of industry, is positioned as the "first step" of this vision to digitize specialized knowledge across all industries and automatically support transformation.

We will continue to announce concrete actions following the "Self-Checker" one after another, filling in the pieces of this puzzle of the future one by one. By circulating wisdom inside and outside the company, we will redefine Japan's "on-site capabilities" into the world's strongest asset. INDUSTRIAL-X will steadily and rapidly socially implement a future where AI and humans run side by side as the best partners.
