(Head office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Group CEO: Koichiro Tanaka) announces that its new head office, the TANAKA Building, constructed in Nihonbashi Kayabacho, Chuo-ku, and to which the head office functions were relocated on April 1, 2024, has been chosen as a winner of the GOOD DESIGN AWARD 2025, which is organized by the Japan Institute of Design Promotion (JDP).The Vision Behind the New Head Office, TANAKA BuildingThe founding location, Kitajima-cho, Nihonbashi-ku, Tokyo (now Nihonbashi Kayabacho, Chuo-ku), served as the head office of TANAKA from 1885 to 2006, when the head office functions were moved to Marunouchi. In April 2024, as a leading company in the precious metals industry, driving the forefront of the times while upholding its founding philosophy and aiming for further development, TANAKA relocated its head office functions back to its birthplace, Kayabacho—a district undergoing remarkable evolution through the redevelopment of the surrounding area and the creation of new hubs for intergenerational exchange.The new head office was designed under the concept “Connecting with people, the city, and the future.” It embodies the vision of a place that brings together diverse people and values to create the future. The exterior adopts a calm color scheme, and limited space is effectively utilized by incorporating greenery to provide a feeling of nature, aiming for harmony with the tranquil, historically cultivated streetscape of Kayabacho.Inside the building, a central staircase in the atrium promotes open and liberating communication and encourages barrier-free interaction among employees. Furthermore, to support Activity Based Working (ABW)—a work style that allows employees to flexibly choose where and when they work according to their tasks and circumstances—the office layout incorporates diverse spaces such as free-address seating, web-compatible booth seats suitable for individual work, and meeting spaces that can flexibly accommodate different group sizes.The building’s overall design has been recognized for reducing energy consumption by 51% compared to conventional buildings, achieved through lowering environmental load during construction, adopting high-efficiency equipment, and actively utilizing natural energy. It meets the standards for ZEB (Zero Energy Building) Ready.Evaluation Comment from the GOOD DESIGN AWARD Judges:The new head office, which has returned to its founding site, embodies in its architecture the clear theme of connecting the “city,” “people,” and the “future.” On the first floor, there is a hall and a display of a mikoshi (portable shrine) used in local festivals, expanding opportunities for interaction with the local community. The large atrium, Crucible Space, which runs through the center of the office, serves as a symbolic area that brings in light and wind while encouraging encounters and collaboration among people. Equipped with systems for seismic isolation and environmental consideration, this architecture embodies the image of a company that builds on its history and continues into the next generation.OutlineNameTANAKA BuildingProducerTomohiro Toi, Managing Corporate Officer,TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL GROUP Co., Ltd.DirectorYosuke Miura, KUME SEKKEI Co., Ltd.DesignerShinichi Fujihira, Koki Kuboyama, KUME SEKKEI Co., Ltd.Location2-6-6, Nihonbashi Kayabacho, Chuo-ku, TokyoSite Area1,307.88 m²; Building Area: 1,040.98 m²Total Floor Area8,809.27 m²Primary StructureSteel Frame + Partial Steel Reinforced Concrete + Reinforced Concrete (Seismic Isolation Structure)Number of Floors8 above ground, 2 below ground*Please refer to this page for the introduction page on the GOOD DESIGN AWARD website.About the GOOD DESIGN AWARD:Established in 1957, GOOD DESIGN AWARD is Japan’s leading commendation system.

TOKYO, Japan, Nov 6, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Honda Motor Co., Ltd. today held the Honda Automotive Technology Workshop for members of news media. Following is a summary of the next-generation technologies for automobile products scheduled to go on sale in the second half of the 2020s.Key technologies introduced at the workshop included: 1) the platform for next-generation hybrid models, 2) hybrid-electric system technologies for new large-size hybrid models scheduled to be launched in North America in the second half of the 2020s, and 3) key technologies to be applied to the production model of a compact EV based on the Super-ONE Prototype, which made its world debut at the Japan Mobility Show 2025. Next generation hybrid study model Super-ONE Prototype Honda positions the “environment” and “safety” as priority issues that need to be addressed in order for Honda to continue offering the joy and freedom of mobility to people in a sustainable manner. Based on this belief, Honda has set ambitious goals of achieving “carbon neutrality for all of its products and corporate activities” and “zero fatalities from traffic collisions involving Honda motorcycles and automobiles,” globally by 2050.As announced at the 2025 Honda Business Briefing held in May of this year, Honda is working to further strengthen the competitiveness of its electric vehicles (EV) and hybrid-electric vehicles (HEV) and offer new value to customers through electrification and enhanced application of intelligent technologies.In the meantime, Honda will continue to pursue its value proposition in the electrified era: the “joy of driving” experienced by the driver while driving with a sense of oneness with their vehicle. Regardless of powertrain type, EV or HEV, Honda will continue to build its products based on the Honda M/M Concept*1, a human-centric approach to Honda car design, and pursue the “joy of driving,” offering comfort and fun not only to the driver but to all occupants.Under the concept of “Enjoy the Drive” which represents the value proposition of Honda automobile products, which is centered on the M/M Concept and the “joy of driving,” Honda will remain committed to making steady advancements of next-generation automotive technologies. At the workshop, Honda unveiled new technologies being developed to embody the unique approach and value system of Honda. Overview of the next-generation mid-size platformHonda is further advancing all aspects of its hybrid system and the HEV platform, with a plan to start adopting them from a group of next-generation HEV models to be introduced to market from 2027 onward.The next-generation platform is being developed by combining various innovative technologies to realize both high body rigidity and lightweight at a high level and a modular architecture that enables greater parts commonality. This will further enhance the “joy of driving” unique only to Honda, enabling the driver to enjoy a sporty and exhilarating driving experience. Next generation mid-size platform- As a new benchmark for driving stability, which directly influences the vehicle dynamic performance, Honda established a new approach to body rigidity management that enhances driving stability. By optimizing the body rigidity, the body weight will be reduced. At the same time, by generating vehicle behavior as if the body flexes during cornering, the load put on each tire will be controlled to improve roadholding performance. As a result, the next-generation EVs will realize an unprecedented level of driving stability and a sporty and pleasant driving experience. Honda is planning to apply this technology to its EV platform as well.Image of the new approach to body rigidity management to enhance driving stability- The weight of the HEV platform was reduced by 90 kg (198 lbs.) compared to the current platform by revising the body structure and adopting new engineering design methods. With this next-generation platform, Honda will strive to create new HEV models that will realize both the fun of driving and excellent fuel economy.- The modular architecture that achieves a high percentage of parts commonality across various models was adopted. By separating commonized modules, such as the engine room and rear underbody, and unique modules such as the rear cabin, the efficiency of new model development will be increased. Honda is aiming for parts commonality of more than 60% across all models using this platform, which will enable the efficient production of distinctive and diverse models while keeping cost down. As a result, the efficiency of both development and production will be significantly increased. - In line with the advancement of the platform, technologies to enable vehicle control at the will of the driver are being adopted, such as a Motion Management System that leverages posture control know-how Honda amassed through the development of original robotics technologies. Moreover, a new pitch control*2 technology will be added to Agile Handling Assist — an electronic control system that supports smooth vehicle behavior during cornering ,and is already adopted to the current Accord and Prelude — to help the driver control the vehicle exactly as intended in all driving situations unaffected by road conditions. Through these technologies, Honda will strive to further enhance the “joy of driving” for its customers. Overview of the next-generation large-size hybrid systemAs market demand for HEV models continues to grow, Honda positions its HEV models, especially the next-generation models scheduled to go on sale in 2027 and beyond, as a core group of products which will play key role during the transitional period leading up to the full-fledged popularization of HEVs.Especially in the North American market, which will be the main market for HEV models, there will continue to be solid demand for large-size HEVs. To fulfill such demand, Honda is developing a next-generation hybrid system featuring powerful driving performance and high towing capacity, as well as outstanding environmental performance, befitting large-size HEVs in the D-segment and larger, with product launches in the second half of the 2020s.At this workshop, Honda unveiled key technologies of its next-generation large-size hybrid systems, including a newly developed V6 engine that complies with stringent environmental regulations, as well as newly developed drive units and battery pack that achieve both high efficiency and low cost.- Honda is striving to improve the fuel efficiency of its next-generation large-size HEV models by more than 30% compared to the ICE models currently being sold in the same segment. To this end, Honda will combine a next-generation V6 engine with extended fuel-efficient range, and highly-efficient drive units, and then apply next-generation energy management control, which optimizes the drive modes in accordance with the driving conditions and contributes to the improvement of fuel efficiency.- Aiming to deliver a powerful yet high-quality driving experience befitting the large-size HEV segment, Honda will strive to improve the full-throttle acceleration performance of the finished vehicle by more than 10% compared to the ICE models currently being sold in the same segment by increasing the efficiency of the engine and each drive unit and by utilizing the battery assist.Next generation large-size hybrid systemOverview of dynamics technologies of the Super-ONE Prototype compact EV modelThe production model based on the Super-ONE Prototype, which made its world debut at the Japan Mobility Show 2025, is scheduled to go on sale first in Japan in 2026, then in the U.K. and other Asian countries where demand for compact EVs is high*3. With the grand concept defined as “e: Dash BOOSTER,” Honda is aiming to create a compact EV that transforms everyday mobility into an exciting and uplifting experience by offering a variety of features that make the in-vehicle experience more enjoyable for customers.Super-ONE Prototype- Based on the lightweight platform, which has been continuously advanced for Honda N Series models, the body width was widened by adopting a dedicated chassis with widened tread and fenders. Moreover, heavy components are consolidated and the center of gravity is lowered by placing the thin battery — the key component of an EV — at the center of the underbody. In this way, the Super-ONE Prototype realized both one of the lightest bodies among A-segment EVs and a center of gravity lower than that of conventional gasoline-powered compact cars. With these key features, the Super-ONE Prototype will ensure high responsiveness to driver inputs and maintain stable responsiveness even during cornering, offering outstanding handling performance that responds precisely to the driver’s intentions while providing peace of mind.- The production model based on the Super-ONE Prototype will be equipped with “Boost Mode” developed exclusively for this model. The Boost Mode increases the power output to enable the power unit to fully unleash its performance potential, while also synchronizing the simulated 7-speed transmission and the Active Sound Control system to generate powerful engine sound and sharp gearshift feel, as if driving an engine-powered vehicle with a traditional multi-gear transmission.For the simulated 7-speed transmission, simulated engine speed and gear positions are calculated in real time based on driver inputs such as accelerator operation and driving conditions including vehicle speed and vehicle behavior during cornering. By optimally controlling driving force and response, the driver can enjoy driving while feeling a sense of oneness with the vehicle. Moreover, the simulated 7-speed transmission also simulates the shock of “kickdown” during acceleration and vehicle behavior during the “fuel cut” — temporarily cutting off fuel injection to protect the engine and properly control the engine rpm. Through these effects, Honda has successfully integrated the driving feel Honda has been pursuing through the years of ICE development into its EVs.With these playful, new technologies developed exclusively for the Super-ONE, Honda will strive to offer the “joy of driving” unique only to Super-ONE, which combines the smooth and linear acceleration feel of EVs and the uplifting driving experience of ICE models. *1 The “man maximum, machine minimum (M/M)” concept is a basic approach to Honda car design to increase the efficiency of the vehicle interior by maximizing space for people and minimizing the space required for mechanical components.*2 A technology that controls deceleration G in accordance with steering input to increase the load put on the front wheels, thereby increasing the grip of the front wheels.*3 The production model is scheduled to be launched under different names depending on the region: Super-ONE in Japan and the Asia & Oceania region; Honda Super-ONE in some of Asia & Oceania countries; Super-N in the U.K. Copyright 2025 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Abstract: High-Quality Small-Cap Stocks Are Expected to Catch Up in GainsHONG KONG, Nov 6, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – On October 29 local time, the Federal Reserve launched its fifth interest rate cut since September 2024. Along with this process, the popularity of small-cap stocks in the US stock market has gradually returned.In fact, driven by the expectation of interest rate cuts, the Russell 2000 index, which represents the performance of the US small-cap stock market, has been rising all the way since April this year.According to historical experience, the restart of the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut cycle is first beneficial to small-cap stocks. Benefiting from the low-interest-rate environment, small-cap companies can often directly improve their profitability with lower financing costs; and benefiting from the improvement of market liquidity and the increase in risk appetite, interest rate cuts are also expected to stimulate investors to lay out those small-cap stocks that have been ignored but have high-quality fundamentals at low prices.Previously, US small-cap stocks had been depressed for a long time since 2022, and naturally, there is no shortage of companies in the current market whose profit expectations are good but whose valuations have not yet reflected their value.In October this year, the US investment research institution Zacks covered NIVF (stock abbreviation "NIVF") for the first time and gave it a valuation of $15 per share. When the report was released, the stock price of NIVF was only $1.81.So, what are the reasons for the gap between the institutional judgment and the market performance? Can NIVF support the target price of $15 per share?01 Market Value Lower Than Cash Assets, Why Is NIVF Undervalued?The current US stock market presents a significant pattern of "overvaluation of large-cap stocks and undervaluation of small-cap companies". On one side, the US stock "Magnificent Seven" such as Apple, Microsoft, and Alphabet are in the spotlight, with NVIDIA refreshing a human history record with a market value of $5 trillion; on the other side, a large number of small and medium-cap stocks face insufficient liquidity, and there are even individual stocks like NIVF whose market value is even lower than the company's cash assets.At present, NIVF holds approximately $1.3082 million in bank cash, virtual currency SOL worth about $2.1137 million, and in addition, it has paid a deposit of around $3.6147 million for land purchase, with a total cash assets holding of about $7.0367 million.However, as of November 3 local time, the market value of NIVF was only about $1.34 million, far lower than its cash on hand.This indicates that this individual stock has been "accidentally harmed" by the overall environment of the US stock market to a certain extent.Of course, the market's concerns are not unfounded. Since 2023, NIVF has been in a state of continuous losses, and considering its previous business structure dominated by medical services, most companies of the same type in the US stock market have also not yet achieved profitability.Looking at NIVF itself, the scale of its losses has actually narrowed year by year, and it has gradually expanded its diversified businesses in recent years. For example, in February this year, it acquired MicroSort laboratory services and related intellectual property rights to expand the coverage of medical services; in June, it began to carry out real estate development business in the United Arab Emirates; at the same time, it also laid out its presence in the blockchain field, and recently was appointed as an agent for the tokenization of physical assets for artworks with a value of up to 200 million US dollars.Just on the 3rd of this month, the company disclosed a new development: it plans to reverse-acquire SAXA's mining assets at a transaction consideration of 5 billion US dollars, specifically including the latter's two mines located in Arizona and California, the United States. If the merger and acquisition is completed, NIVF is expected to enter the US rare earth and precious metal mining industry through this opportunity.Compared with the medical service industry, real estate and mineral mining are industries with relatively certain profitability. Expanding the diversified business landscape is expected to contribute a new growth driver to NIVF's revenue and profits. Especially driven by the real estate business, Zacks predicts that NIVF may turn losses into profits in 2026 and achieve significant growth in net profit in the following three years. Zacks' Earnings Forecast for NIVFIn fact, if it were not for the impact of matters such as acquisitions, NIVF would have been expected to achieve profitability within this year.The Zacks model predicts that its adjusted earnings per share (EPS) for this year will be -$2.19. However, it should be noted that this does not include gains from two low-cost acquisitions—a valuation report issued by one of the Big Four accounting firms previously showed that NIVF generated a $19.1 million gain from the low-cost acquisition after purchasing flow cytometry intellectual property rights and related assets; it also generated a similar gain of $3.52 million after acquiring MicroSort in February this year.It is precisely these acquisition matters that have dragged down the company's stock price to a certain extent.Taking the acquisition of MicroSort as an example, NIVF paid $750,000 in cash at that time, and the remaining amount was paid in the form of equivalent new Class A shares. Objectively, this would put downward pressure on the stock price at that time.Issuing new shares by listed companies is a common financing method. Official information shows that part of the capital expenditure for NIVF's real estate projects and the $5 billion required for the acquisition of SAXA's mining assets will also be raised in this form. At that time, NIVF will issue 500 million shares to SAXA shareholders and others at a price of $10 per share as consideration payment. After the transaction is completed, it may issue an additional 50 million new shares at a price of $5 per share.Therefore, it can be predicted that when NIVF conducts additional share offerings for financing regarding the above - mentioned matters, its stock price will still bear temporary technical pressure.However, after the transaction is completed and the $5 - billion - dollar assets are injected, based on the planned issuance of 582 million shares, the net value of the newly - injected assets is expected to reach $8.6 per share.Compared with the current stock price of less than $1, NIVF is "remarkably cheap".Overall, the low valuation of NIVF is due to both fundamental factors such as the single - structured revenue in the early stage, and the temporary "book loss" caused by the acquisition matters, as well as objectively the drag of additional share offerings. Then, under the trend that the overall preference for small - cap stocks is expected to improve, apart from being "remarkably cheap", does NIVF have room for growth imagination in the future?02 Middle - East High - end Real Estate, the Engine of Profit GrowthA certain answer is that currently NIVF already holds a scarce plot of land.As the first step in its real estate business layout, in June 2025, NIVF purchased a parcel of land in Ras Al Khaimah, the largest city and capital of the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah. This land parcel is located in the Ras Al Khaimah Beach Area, adjacent to Al Marjan Island. The Wynn Resort currently under construction on this island is expected to open in early 2027, and it will become the only "Las Vegas" - style resort in the UAE at that time.According to the plan, NIVF will cooperate with BNW Real Estate Development LLC, a well - known local developer in the UAE, to develop a high - end residential complex with an area of over 525,000 square feet on this land parcel. Cooperating with a local developer, positioning itself as a high - end residential project, and being adjacent to the resort almost locks in the future customer base and sales of this project.Zacks' Assumptions on Future Sales and Revenue Conversion of the Ras Al Khaimah Real Estate ProjectAccording to the management, this project has now entered a critical implementation stage. More than 4 months after acquiring the land, the preliminary design plan of the project has been basically completed, and the development process is about to start. It is expected that the pre - sales will be launched in the first half of 2026.And according to Zacks' calculation, the total sales of the project will exceed $450 million, and the net profit will be approximately $200 million. Based on the initial investment cost of about $24 million, NIVF will enjoy about one - third of the net investment income.In terms of financial data, benefiting from the contribution of the real estate business, Zacks expects NIVF's net profit to reach $18.6 million, $74.1 million, and $139 million in 2026 - 2028 respectively.If calculated based on the 11.7 million issued and outstanding shares, Zacks predicts that its earnings per share will reach $1.59, $6.35, and $11.87 in 2026 - 2028 respectively. This is significantly higher than its current share price of less than $1.The management revealed that the Ras Al Khaimah project is only the first step for NIVF to set foot in real estate, and in the future, it considers developing the real estate segment into one of the company's pillar businesses.Judging from the market environment in Ras Al Khaimah, the local area has the potential for real estate growth.In terms of the supply-demand structure of housing sources, since 2025, the market supply has begun to lag behind the market demand, and the value of real estate assets and the rental return rate have continued to rise. The local population nearly doubled from 2005 to 2023, laying a foundation for undertaking the market demand. At the same time, the UAE's Golden Visa program provides long-term residency rights to foreigners who invest in real estate. A 10-year renewable visa allows individuals to live, work and study locally, which is beneficial to international investors.In addition, according to data statistics, about 30,000 Chinese immigrants move to the UAE every year.However, NIVF maintains a cautious rhythm in real estate investment and focuses on the positioning of high-end products, clearly taking high-end residential properties, coastal resort properties and cultural and tourism real estate as the key directions.On the other hand, at the sales end, the Ras Al Khaimah project will adopt a mixed sales mechanism, taking into account both traditional offline sales and real estate tokenization. The latter is expected to help investors efficiently realize cash back. More importantly, NIVF also regards it as an important pilot for exploring the tokenization of real-world assets (abbreviated as "RWA").The management frankly stated that if the first project is successfully implemented and generates good returns, the company will replicate the "development + tokenization" model in the UAE and even the entire Middle East region to form a scalable and replicable growth engine.This also leads to another business it laid out earlier—digital asset management.03 Pioneer in the Trillion-Dollar RWA MarketUsing RWA to digitally divide part of the property ownership can not only improve asset liquidity, but also upgrade the real estate development model from the traditional capital-intensive type to an ecological platform of "development + digital finance", which has broad room for imagination in the future.High total value, poor liquidity, clear property rights and quantifiable prices are the main characteristics that make real estate an ideal target for RWA. However, for NIVF, real estate projects are obviously only the starting point for its exploration of digital asset management.In June this year, it planned to invest 30 million US dollars in the digital asset staking business of the Solana ecosystem. Up to now, the yield performance has been stable, which has verified its execution capability and risk control system in the field of encrypted assets to a certain extent.Not long ago, it also cooperated with the World Chinese Museum and served as the global exclusive agent for the tokenization of the museum's artworks. The first batch of tokenized artworks has a valuation of 2 million US dollars. In the future, based on the success of the initial promotion, it will further expand to other artwork assets, with a total value of up to 200 million US dollars.Specifically, NIVF takes full responsibility for all core links in the entire tokenization process, including asset selection and due diligence, joint authoritative institutions to conduct independent valuation and authenticity identification, designing tokenization structure and compliant issuance plan, connecting with global trading platforms and liquidity providers, as well as marketing and international investor relations management.Eventually, it will charge 15% of the total value of the tokenized assets as a service fee—which contributes a new source of income for it.According to Deloitte's "2023 Art & Finance Report", the scale of wealth in artworks and related collectibles held by global ultra-high-net-worth individuals reached $2.174 trillion in 2022, and is expected to climb to $2.861 trillion by 2026.Looking at the entire RWA market, Boston Consulting predicts that its scale will exceed $10 trillion by 2030.This means that acting as an agent for artwork RWA not only adds color to short-term performance, but also accumulates first-mover advantages for opportunities in the trillion-dollar market in the future.Just as some technology companies are cautious about artwork RWA currently due to the lack of fair value in their pricing, NIVF has taken the lead in building a multi-level risk control and value verification system during its exploration. For example, it has introduced third-party professional evaluation institutions such as internationally renowned art consultants, art history experts, and cultural heritage certification organizations to ensure that the valuation is based on historical transaction data, scarcity analysis, and academic research; it has also cooperated with institutions like the World Chinese Museum to enhance asset credibility by leveraging brand public trust and academic resources.This not only provides an opportunity for ordinary investors to participate in high-value asset investment, but also offers a reference for the further improvement of the RWA pricing system.In fact, NIVF, which has Hong Kong roots, a headquarters in Thailand, is listed on the US stock market, and operates businesses in multiple regions across the Asia-Pacific and the Middle East, has inherent advantages in laying out RWA business: the US leads the world in compliance processes, and Hong Kong has the geographical advantage of being an Asia-Pacific financial center, which enhances the company's security and credibility; at the same time, operating businesses in multiple regions just matches the characteristic of blockchain transactions that aim to eliminate global physical barriers.The management of NIVF even mentioned that nowadays, users in many Middle Eastern regions such as the UAE "like to trade virtual currencies", and the local market has an open attitude and high acceptance towards on-chain transactions.Moreover, the accumulation from its early operations in the medical and real estate businesses also makes it easier for the company to gain support from local customers in the early stage of exploring the digital asset management business.Returning from the trillion-dollar blue ocean to the present, although the above-mentioned value has not yet been realized through the company's performance, for investors who can understand the logic of its business layout and the profit inflection point, the revaluation of NIVF's value may be starting right now. When the market's attention shifts away from the red-hot technology giants to these small-cap stocks with clear growth paths, the "cheap" window for NIVF may not last long.Investor Relations ContactIntelligent Joy LimitedTel: +852 5749 6688Email:pr-team@intelligentjoy.com Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

KAWASAKI, Japan, Nov 6, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu today announced that it has started the development of a new AI chatbot service for the Japan Pension Service, integrating generative AI into its existing chatbot for pension-related consultations and inquiries. The new service, which will commence in April 2026, is designed to significantly improve response quality and user satisfaction, while streamlining staff operations.The generative AI, delivered through a Fujitsu's Uvance offering that aims to optimize communication between consumers and businesses, will primarily be used to draft Q&A data for inquiry responses [1]. Starting in April 2026, the service will also introduce multilingual support for English, Chinese, Korean, Portuguese, Vietnamese, and Tagalog, alongside the current Japanese language version.Moving forward, the Japan Pension Service is exploring the expansion of its digital channels for pension consultations and inquiries. Fujitsu will support these efforts by enhancing services tailored to the unique characteristics and needs of both employers and individuals, and by promoting their wider adoption. Fujitsu is committed to facilitating the creation of a digital channel environment where various procedures can be completed online. This will lead to improved response quality and user satisfaction and further reduce the burden on Japan Pension Service staff in handling consultations and inquiries.Under its Uvance business model to solve societal issues, Fujitsu will continue to support the digitalization of all customer touchpoints to facilitate communications between consumers and businesses that foster trust and empathy and enhance the entire customer experience.BackgroundThe Japan Pension Service previously managed consultations and inquiries from beneficiaries, claimants, and employers through in-person visits to 312 pension offices and via telephone calls. In 2020, the Japan Pension Service introduced a chatbot for pension-related consultations and inquiries, powered by Fujitsu, that now serves approximately 600,000 users annually and is rated highly for its ease of use. However, the frequent need for Q&A data maintenance and updates, occurring more than twice monthly due to pension system revisions, presented a significant operational challenge.By integrating Fujitsu's generative AI into the chatbot service, the Japan Pension Service expects to alleviate staff workload and elevate the quality of Q&A responses. The generative AI will automatically generate draft Q&A responses when updates are needed due to pension system revisions, thereby significantly reducing the manual effort traditionally required for Q&A maintenance.Figure 1: Japan Pension Service Chatbot[1] Utilization for drafting Q&A data:The actual responses provided by the chatbot will be based on information reviewed by human operators.Fujitsu’s Commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations in 2015 represent a set of common goals to be achieved worldwide by 2030.Fujitsu’s purpose — “to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation” — is a promise to contribute to the vision of a better future empowered by the SDGs.About FujitsuFujitsu’s purpose is to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation.
