Voyt Selected for FY2025 2nd "Hamamatsu City Fund Support Project"

Voyt Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, President & CEO: Yasutaka Nagatomi, hereafter Voyt) is pleased to announce that it has been selected as a grant recipient for the "FY2025 2nd Hamamatsu City Fund Support Project", a startup support initiative promoted by Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture. Along with this selection, we have newly opened the "Hamamatsu Branch". Going forward, we will position Hamamatsu City, a "city of manufacturing," as an important hub, and strongly promote the digital transformation (DX) of the local manufacturing industry through our AI-equipped intercom "VOYT CONNECT" (hereafter "Voyt Connect").

**Background of selection for the "Hamamatsu City Fund Support Project"**
The Hamamatsu City Fund Support Project is a system that aims to create a city with a virtuous cycle where new startups are born one after another, supporting the commercialization and growth of startups in collaboration with venture capital firms and financial institutions. The uniqueness of the AI-equipped intercom "Voyt Connect" solution for the manufacturing industry provided by our company, as well as the high potential for business growth and regional contribution in Hamamatsu City, where manufacturing industries are concentrated, were highly evaluated, leading to our selection as a business operator for the "FY2025 2nd Term". With the support of this project, we will further accelerate product development and business expansion.

**About the opening of the Hamamatsu Branch**
In order to provide faster, more on-site support to the manufacturing industry in Hamamatsu City and the surrounding areas, we have newly opened the "Hamamatsu Branch". In Hamamatsu, where the "Yaramaika (Let's do it) spirit" that has produced many global companies breathes, we will deepen our cooperation with local companies, promote human resource recruitment at the base, and contribute to local job creation and economic development.

**Promoting Manufacturing DX with "Voyt Connect"**
Our AI-equipped intercom "Voyt Connect" is an application that utilizes smartphones like intercom transceivers to realize operational efficiency and communication activation at manufacturing sites. In Hamamatsu City, where there are many manufacturing companies with advanced technical capabilities, we will tackle the following issues through support for the introduction of "Voyt Connect":
- Digitalization of analog field work and promotion of paperless operations
- Reduction of inspection work and improvement of productivity through voice input and AI summarization
- Operational efficiency through external system integration

We will build a cutting-edge manufacturing DX model originating from Hamamatsu together with local companies, and strongly support next-generation manufacturing.
