Webinar Announcement

Layers Consulting (Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Takashi Sugino) has announced that it will hold an online seminar titled "Winning Strategies for AI Implementation Beyond Generative AI: The Edge AI Frontier" on July 7, 2026.

As AI utilization becomes standard in business, "Edge AI"—which processes vast amounts of data and completes real-time decisions on-site without relying on communication environments—is gaining new attention. While global gaps have widened in large language model and data center investments, Edge AI represents a vital opportunity for Japanese companies, which possess onsite operational strength and manufacturing expertise, to create new businesses and compete globally again.

In this seminar, in collaboration with Aizip Inc., a leader in Edge AI development based in Silicon Valley, USA, we will cover a wide range of topics, from the latest trends and use cases to how Japanese firms can utilize Edge AI for business transformation.

We are honored to host Yan Sun, Co-founder and CEO of Aizip, Inc., and Jinho Shin, AI Development Lead, who lead the company's Edge AI development from Silicon Valley.

Aizip, Inc. gained recognition by developing an aquaculture-focused Edge AI application that counts fish in real-time on smartphones in collaboration with SoftBank, winning the CES 2025 Innovation Award in the Food & AgTech category. It is highly regarded as an implementation example that enables the completion of AI processing on-site without cloud dependency.

Based on the latest trends and cases, our speakers will lecture on why Edge AI is in demand now and its business significance and potential.

Layers Consulting will present the necessity of company-wide basic concepts for AI implementation and practical points for digital utilization, including AI.
