The Japan AI Implementation Support Association (Location: Minato-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Mitsuki Fujioka, Abbreviation: J-AIX, URL: https://j-aix.or.jp/) was established on April 1, 2026.
The Japan AI Implementation Support Association is a general incorporated association that provides end-to-end support for AI utilization rooted in corporate practice through training, implementation support, establishment support, and information dissemination. Upon its establishment, it also began operating its official media AI JOURNAL and AI service database AI CATALOG .
Background of Establishment
With the spread of generative AI, interest in AI utilization within companies is rapidly increasing. On the other hand, Japanese companies still face challenges such as a lack of clear utilization methods, insufficient post-implementation establishment, and a failure to achieve results, despite recognizing the need for introduction.
The Japan AI Implementation Support Association was established with the aim of bridging the gap between AI technology and corporate practices, and supporting AI implementation tailored to real business needs, going beyond mere information provision or tool introductions. Through practical implementation support tailored to industry types and company sizes, we aim to contribute to improving the productivity and strengthening the competitiveness of Japanese companies.
Business of the Japan AI Implementation Support Association
Practical AI Training Program
We offer training programs that combine lectures and practical exercises, designed with curricula tailored to the business content and utilization objectives of companies, for major AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude.
Furthermore, we will support the utilization of subsidies such as the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's Human Resource Development Support Subsidy, Business Development and Reskilling Support Course. While system details and subsidy rates vary depending on the application period and company requirements, a portion of the training costs may be eligible for subsidies if predetermined requirements are met.
Monthly AI Consultant Service
After training, we offer a monthly support service that continuously accompanies clients to address challenges such as how to implement it in actual operations, which departments to introduce it in, and how to promote internal adoption.
Neutral Selection Support for AI Services
We provide comparative review and selection support for optimal AI tools and IT services according to the company's challenges and business content. Leveraging our network with member companies and partner companies, we organize options according to each company's objectives from a neutral standpoint, not biased towards specific vendors, to support adoption decisions.
Official Media and Database Also Released Simultaneously
AI JOURNAL (Official Media)
As the association's official media, we have simultaneously launched AI JOURNAL, an information media outlet for corporate managers and decision-makers involved in AI utilization. We will disseminate information that companies can utilize in their practical work, including reviews and interviews of AI tools, implementation know-how, information on utilizing subsidies and grants, and the latest domestic and international trends.
AI CATALOG (Official Association Database)
We have also simultaneously launched AI CATALOG, the association's official database where companies can search for AI services and AI vendors. It is a platform aimed at making it easier for companies considering AI implementation to compare and examine services according to their own challenges, industry, and intended use.
Message from Representative Director
AI technology is evolving rapidly, but many companies' operational sites still face the challenge of not being able to implement it into actual operations, even if they understand it.
Our goal is not just to introduce AI, but to master its use in practical operations and lead to business improvement and value creation. By supporting not only tool implementation but also the design of utilization methods, establishment in business workflows, and continuous improvement, we want to make corporate AI implementation realistic and steadily progress. In Japan, where the working population is declining, AI is a crucial foundation supporting future corporate competitiveness. Our association emphasizes a hands-on approach and is committed to promoting effective AI utilization for Japanese companies.

Message from Vice Representative Director
AI is now evolving at an astonishing speed. What was unthinkable a year ago has become commonplace, and this change continues to accelerate. As AI has become involved in all aspects of business, the question of how to leverage it is now directly linked to corporate productivity and added value.
Many companies want to utilize AI but don't know where to start, wouldn't you agree? The Japan AI Implementation Support Association offers practical training tailored to business content and utilization objectives, a monthly consultant service to support post-implementation establishment, and AI tool selection support from a neutral standpoint. Furthermore, through our official media AI JOURNAL and AI CATALOG, we will disseminate the latest information useful for corporate AI utilization.
To help companies advance their AI utilization in ways that suit their respective situations, our association will provide support while staying close to practical business needs.
