Tokoshié Presented at the 64th NEDO Pitch

Tatsunori Watanabe, Founder and CEO of Tokoshié, presented at the 64th NEDO Pitch held on September 1, 2026.

The event focused on the theme, “Addressing Labor Shortages in an Aging Society: Building Next-Generation Industries Through the Social Implementation of Physical AI.” Five startups working in the Physical AI space took the stage to present their technologies and initiatives.

In our pitch, titled “A World Where AI Autonomously Creates,” we introduced Ignite0, our chat-based 3D CAD platform. We shared our approach to capturing design intent and the tacit knowledge of experienced engineers in a structured form, enabling AI to support both design and validation.

Following the pitches, Watanabe also joined a panel discussion on successful collaboration between startups and large enterprises. The discussion explored how PoCs can go beyond short-term outcomes and lead to hypothesis validation, deeper collaboration, and long-term business growth.

More details about the pitches and panel discussion are available in the JOIC event report.
