SIGNATE Launches Recruitment for 2026 'Manabi DX Quest' Program, Continuing 7-Year Leadership

2026 'Manabi DX Quest' Enrollment Begins

SIGNATE, a company specializing in end-to-end AI strategy, execution, and talent development, has opened enrollment for the 2026 'Manabi DX Quest' program, an initiative supported by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), as of May 22, 2026.

This year's program complies with the Digital Skill Standard (DSS) ver. 2.0. A major update is the full integration of an 'AI role-play' feature across all case studies, allowing participants to experience real-world business interviews by interacting with AI characters.

An online briefing session explaining the program's structure and how to select from the five available themes will be held on May 29, 2026.

### Track Record: Over 11,000 Graduates

'Manabi DX Quest' is a seven-year-running, ultra-practical education program for digital talent development under METI. SIGNATE has been involved since the beginning, supporting the development of over 9,000 individuals, representing more than 80% of the program's total scale.

Even after shifting to private sector leadership in 2025, the program maintained high results with over 1,300 participants, a 92% satisfaction rate, and over 90% reporting practical effectiveness.

### New Feature: AI Role-Play Function

In 2026, the AI role-play feature was introduced before the requirement definition stage for all five cases. Participants act as business professionals interviewing 'AI characters' to extract business issues and constraints. This safe environment allows for trial-and-error, honing skills in 'question posing,' 'gathering requirements,' and 'organizing points.'
