Iwate.AI Concept
Through generative AI, we aim to expand the capabilities of each individual living and working in Iwate, creating a foundation where new challenges and value creation can continuously emerge even in rural areas. As a practical platform open to everyone, we will increase the number of people in the region who can not only "know" but also "use" AI.
"We want to spread a system where one person can achieve the productivity of many, especially in rural areas" - with this in mind, we are starting this small but steady practical platform.

Representative's Comment
Suguru Sato, Representative Director, Uravation Co., Ltd.
"I grew up in Iwate, studied in Tokyo, and have been involved in bringing generative AI to companies. Now, in an era where the information gap between urban and rural areas can be bridged by AI, I want to start small in my hometown of Iwate. Instead of a flashy launch, we will create a place to steadily increase the number of 'users'."
