Google and KDDI to support Japanese AI startups

The Google AI Futures Fund, co-founded by a Google executive, is expanding its efforts to support innovative startups by focusing on Japan. In a new partnership with KDDI, a leading Japanese telecommunications company, they are introducing the AI Startup Support Program. This initiative aims to boost the growth of pioneering Japanese startups that are native to the field of artificial intelligence.
