Aozora Care Group to Exhibit at '9th CareTEX Fukuoka '26,' Japan's Largest Care Industry Trade Show in Kyushu

Aozora Care Group/ACG Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Kagoshima City, Kagoshima Prefecture, represented by Yasuyasu Omori), which operates a wide range of welfare services—primarily elderly and disability support—will exhibit at the '9th CareTEX Fukuoka '26 (CareTEX),' to be held at Marine Messe Fukuoka on July 22 (Wed) to July 23 (Thu), 2026.

The 9th CareTEX Fukuoka '26 will bring together innovative products and services beneficial to care facilities and frontline care operations, covering care supplies and equipment, rehabilitation devices, robots, systems, monitoring solutions, and care food.

Aozora Care Group operates diverse welfare services centered in Kagoshima Prefecture, focusing on elderly and disability support. The group is actively advancing digital transformation (DX) in caregiving operations and is independently developing and implementing AI solutions. In October last year, the company formed a strategic partnership with Horiemon AI School Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo, CEO Kenjiro Araki) and launched 'Horiemon AI School for Care,' a franchise school specialized for the care industry. They also operate Japan's first educational institution enabling care providers, caregivers, and individual care professionals to acquire AI skills.

During the event, the company will demonstrate how its specialized AI school for caregiving—'Horiemon AI School for Care'—enables participants to 'understand, apply, and transform' through proven, field-tested know-how. The full scope of its fail-safe, hands-on support model will be detailed at their booth. Additionally, consultation services will be offered on implementing AI-powered training programs and optimizing caregiving operations using AI, with real-world case studies presented.

Message from Yasuyasu Omori, Representative, Aozora Care Group/ACG Co., Ltd.

'The essence of caregiving lies in engaging directly with service users. However, many frontline operations are losing sight of this essence, overwhelmed by repetitive desk work and extensive documentation.

We aim to restore the 'essence of caregiving' to care sites nationwide through AI. We believe that cultivating 'AI-savvy caregiving professionals'—empowering even beginners with AI as a tool to take their first step as caregiving experts—will shape the future of our industry. If you question your current work style or seek change, please visit our booth.'
