WorkX Inc. (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Tomoharu Higashino; hereinafter "WorkX"), a company engaged in the DX/AI consulting business, established its Kansai Branch on April 1, 2026, due to its business expansion into the Kansai area.
WorkX has provided consulting services from its base in Tokyo, covering strategy formulation to execution support in the DX and AI domains.
WorkX創業当初より、東京のGDPは日本全体の2割程度な一方で、それ以上にコンサルティングファームの知見・労働力が都心に集中していることを課題認識していました。IPOを目指すタイミングも踏まえ、全国展開を検討しておりました。
Amidst this, as consultations and requests from companies in the Kansai area have been increasing, we decided to establish the Kansai Branch with the aim of building a more prompt and robust support system in the Kansai region.
■ Future Outlook
Our support for Kansai companies to date has primarily involved utilizing freelance talent residing in Kansai and providing remote or business trip-based support.
With the establishment of the Kansai Branch, we will be able to offer support that combines the expertise of WorkX's over 8,000 freelance professionals with the strategic and collaborative capabilities of our in-house consultants, thus committing to the transformation and results of Kansai-based companies.
Furthermore, starting with this Kansai Branch establishment, we will aim for the growth of companies nationwide and, beyond that, the improvement of overall productivity in Japan, pursuing further business expansion.
