INDUSTRIAL-X Secures 1.93 Billion Yen to Accelerate Industrial Transformation via AI Agents and Space Business

INDUSTRIAL-X Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Chitori Yako), a provider of data-driven corporate transformation support, has announced a total funding of 1.93 billion yen. This round consists of 1.42 billion yen in Series C equity investment led by Sugimoto Shoji Co., Ltd., with participation from Technoa and the QR No. 2 Fund, and 5.1 billion yen in debt financing from financial institutions.

With this capital, the company aims to accelerate the fundamental update of Japan's industrial structure through two main pillars: "AI Transformation (AX)" and "Full-scale entry into the Space Industry."

**Strategic Growth Areas:**

1. **Commitment to AI Transformation (AX):** Shifting from traditional DX (tool introduction) to AX, where AI agents autonomously handle business processes. The company is promoting "AX Agent Suite" to redefine business processes (BPR) and enhance productivity across industries by building common AI data platforms.

2. **Space Industry & "Space-Twin®" Vision:** Extending terrestrial data-linking expertise to the space sector. INDUSTRIAL-X has already been selected by JAXA for projects focused on standardizing satellite development. The goal is to create a seamless ecosystem connecting ground industries (manufacturing, logistics, energy) with space resources.

**CEO Comment: Chitori Yako** "This funding marks our leap into a new stage. However, our core essence remains unchanged: we provide hands-on support to ensure digital strategies are 'implemented' and 'internalized' in actual operations. We aim to build a next-generation industrial model that unlocks the full potential of Japanese industry, ranging from daily operational improvements to the frontier of space."

**Service Portfolio:** * **AX Agent Suite:** AI solutions for business process improvement and production management. * **Xtrategy® & InduStudy®:** AI-driven strategic analysis and industry reporting tools. * **Resource Cloud®:** A one-stop catalog for DX resources and solutions.
