Fujifilm Business Innovation Opens 'REiLI Business Hub' for AI Value Creation in Yokohama Minato Mirai

Fujifilm Business Innovation Corp. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Naoki Hama) announced the opening of the 'REiLI Business Hub' on May 20, 2026, at its Yokohama Minato Mirai office (Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture), serving as a base for value creation driven by digital technologies including AI.

The 'REiLI Business Hub' is designed to realize 'value creation that aligns with business workflows,' a core principle of the company's AI brand, 'REiLI Business.' Its primary goal is to accelerate and ensure reliable AI implementation for customers. At this facility, experts from within and outside the company—specializing in technical development, product planning, and implementation—collaborate to drive the entire process from ideation and verification to commercialization, thereby shortening the value-creation cycle.

Background for Opening the 'REiLI Business Hub': In the current fast-changing business environment driven by advancements in AI, the ability to rapidly integrate digital technologies into real-world workflows is a critical competitive factor. Fujifilm Business Innovation has been addressing this by focusing on comprehensive business process transformation rather than isolated optimizations. By leveraging its long-standing hardware development expertise, digital technologies, and broader Fujifilm Group assets, the company aims to offer value that goes beyond tangible products. The 'REiLI Business Hub' was opened to accelerate this initiative.

Key Features of the 'REiLI Business Hub': 1. Collaborative Value Creation: Experts in development, planning, and implementation gather at this hub to work together daily. By incorporating feedback from sales, systems engineering, and maintenance teams—who are responsible for on-site implementation—as early as the prototype phase, the company can refine practical solutions more quickly. Flexible, project-based team structures allow for shorter cycles, facilitating the rapid development of AI solutions designed for immediate real-world use.

2. Space Design for Co-creation: The facility integrates verification zones, collaborative workspaces, and discussion areas to streamline the transition from ideation to commercialization. Incorporating 'Activity Based Working' (ABW) principles, the space is designed to let employees choose their optimal work environment. This promotes cross-departmental communication and experimentation, further accelerating business value creation.
