SAMURAI Begins Accepting Entries for METI's 'Manabi DX Quest Case Study Program'

SAMURAI Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Aritsu Haneda) began accepting corporate entries for the 2026 'Manabi DX Quest - Case Study Education Program,' a project subsidized by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), on June 1, 2026. This program is a 12-week, fully online, practical curriculum using real data from industries such as manufacturing and IT. Participants will complete either a 'functional AI application' or a 'management improvement proposal report.' Please note that applications may close without notice once capacity is reached. Many companies find that DX training is not utilized in the field due to issues like lack of practical opportunities, reliance on fictional cases, and lack of tangible deliverables. This program is designed to bridge the gap between training and the workplace, allowing participants to complete deliverables they can immediately apply to their own companies within 12 weeks. Key features include government-backed quality assurance, exercises using real-world data, and a cost-effective structure at less than one-tenth the price of typical corporate training. Two courses are available: the AI Application Implementation Course and the AI Data Analysis Course, each with a capacity of 470 participants.
