Spready Inc. announced that its AI idea generation tool, 'HASSAN', will be implemented in 'OKB X', an open innovation program launched by Ogaki Kyoritsu Bank (OKB) to support new business creation for regional companies.
## Background of the Initiative
Since its opening in April 2024, OKB's 'OKB SCLAMB' has been working to promote regional economic growth and solve social issues through industry-academia-government matching and support for entrepreneurs.
The newly launched 'OKB X' is a program designed to provide end-to-end support for regional companies, helping them shape new business ideas and carry them through to implementation. Its concept is built on 'Challenge into the unknown (X=Possibility),' 'Transformation through multiplication with existing businesses,' and 'Cross-collaboration.'
Spready shares a deep resonance with the program's commitment to 'speaking through action' and 'accompanying from hypothesis to implementation,' and will support the endeavors of regional companies through its new business creation tool, 'HASSAN'.
## Value Provided by HASSAN: Overcoming Barriers with Idea 'Quantity' and 'Objectivity'
Within the program, HASSAN will play the following roles in the 'Shoot X' course, which focuses on practicing the zero-to-one phase of business through hypothesis and verification of business plans:
- Diverse Idea Generation by AI: Utilizes data from over 2,000 past new business projects to present a list of 20-50 new business ideas based on a company's unique strengths.
- Breaking Free from Cognitive Biases: An objective AI perspective helps break through the conventional thinking that can occur within a company, visualizing new business possibilities.
- Accelerating the Verification Process: Smooths the transition from idea creation to hypothesis building, providing a foundation to enhance the precision of commercialization within a limited timeframe.
