KiAI Selected for J-StarX 'Local to Global Success' Course Organized by JETRO and METI
~Supporting Cross-Border Business for SMEs Worldwide Through AI Agents and Global Credit Scoring~
KiAI Inc. (Headquarters: Ibaraki, Japan; CEO: Kazumasa Oba) is pleased to announce that we have been selected for the “Local to Global Success” course of J-StarX, a startup support program organized by JETRO and Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI).
Guided by our vision, “Global Returns for Everyone,” KiAI is developing a platform that integrates an AI agent with a global credit scoring system, enabling small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) around the world to engage in cross-border business more easily and securely.
Through this selection, KiAI will receive support for overseas market validation, refinement of global business strategies, and access to networks of local experts—significantly accelerating our global expansion. This support is expected to be particularly impactful for our initial MVP validation markets in the United States and Germany.
KiAI will continue working to create an environment where SMEs worldwide can conduct cross-border business seamlessly. By removing barriers related to information, sales capability, and trust, we aim to build a future in which more companies can benefit from global business opportunities.
