Tomorrow Net Corporation (HQ: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Lee Chang-jin) and ai& Inc. (HQ: Yokohama, Kanagawa; Co-Founder & CEO: David Bennett), a vertically-integrated global AI technology company, have announced a business alliance to provide generative AI and AI/IT infrastructure solutions for enterprise companies.
Currently, while many enterprises are considering the introduction of generative AI, a significant challenge is the 'PoC wall,' where projects end at the Proof of Concept stage and fail to be integrated into actual business operations. Furthermore, enterprises have high demands for strict security, industry-specific regulations, and stable operations, requiring a system that can integrally design and operate AI applications and their supporting infrastructure.
Through this partnership, the two companies will establish an integrated support system covering everything from the design and construction of AI inference environments to the business implementation, production operation, and continuous improvement of generative AI. This will move enterprise AI utilization beyond the PoC stage to full integration into business operations and continuous value creation, thereby promoting the broader societal adoption of AI.
## Overview of Solutions Provided by the Alliance
The companies will offer an integrated solution compatible with flexible configurations, including on-premise, private networks, hybrid, and public clouds.
- **High-Performance, High-Efficiency Inference Platform**
Utilizing ai&'s inference platform, they will build a foundation that supports the stable operation of generative AI and AI agents with high inference performance and availability.
- **Advanced AI Agent Integration (CAT.AI)**
Leveraging AI agent technologies, including Tomorrow Net's conversational AI service 'CAT.AI,' the partnership aims to achieve advanced automation tailored to specific business scenarios.
- **Enterprise-Quality 24/7 Operations**
They aim to provide a highly reliable AI infrastructure capable of supporting mission-critical operations by designing SLAs for production, conducting performance evaluations, and establishing a 24/7 monitoring and improvement system.
## Future Outlook
Moving forward, the two companies plan to jointly deploy their solutions across a wide range of fields, including manufacturing, finance, public sector, energy, telecommunications, and IT services. They will also collaborate on themes such as power efficiency, secure private network configurations, business automation using large-scale RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), and the development of industry-specific AI agents, aiming to promote AI solutions that companies can confidently deploy in production.
## Comments from Company Representatives
**Lee Chang-jin, President & CEO, Tomorrow Net Corporation**
"With this partnership with ai&, I am very encouraged that we can build a system that provides everything from AI infrastructure to AI agents and business implementation as a single package. By combining our companies' technologies, we will create an environment where enterprises can use AI with confidence, accelerating the societal adoption of AI and supporting operational efficiency."
**David Bennett, Co-Founder & CEO, ai& Inc.**
"What many enterprises we speak with lack is not the ambition to use AI, but the foundation and expertise to move beyond PoC to stable production. This partnership is designed to fill that exact gap. By combining ai&'s inference solutions with Tomorrow Net's implementation capabilities, we believe we can offer Japanese enterprises an end-to-end path to not just trial AI, but to operate it in production with confidence."
