GDEP Advance Supports "AI for Science" Initiative, Providing AI Platforms for Research Innovation

GDEP Advance, Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director CEO: Masamichi Iino; TSE Standard: Securities Code 5885) is a company that provides solutions centered on AI and visualization.

We have recently developed a lineup of AI research platforms corresponding to the "Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Transformative Research Areas (A) (AI for Science Scientific Research Innovation Program <Challenge Type>)" promoted by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). Through this, we have established a comprehensive support system from product selection to implementation to assist universities and research institutions in advancing and streamlining scientific research.

Background In recent years, the acceleration and sophistication of AI-driven scientific research have been progressing both domestically and internationally. Against this backdrop, MEXT is promoting the development of an environment where researchers can utilize AI through the "AI for Science" dissemination and deployment project.

However, building and operating an AI research environment requires specialized knowledge, and selecting appropriate products and preparing application documents can be a significant burden for many researchers. GDEP Advance, leveraging its long-standing expertise as an NVIDIA certified partner and its unique solutions, offers comprehensive support to researchers, enabling them to proceed with confidence from budget adoption to implementation and utilization.

"AI for Science" Compatible Lineup GDEP Advance offers two platforms that can be selected according to the research type (humanities, sciences, social sciences) and scale, in line with MEXT's "AI for Science" initiative, along with a unique solution to protect research data.
