GHELIA

Based in Tokyo, Japan, GHELIA INC. positions itself as a key operator of an integrated artificial intelligence platform, striving to create a symbiotic environment between humans and AI. The company was established in June 2017 as a joint venture between Sony Computer Science Laboratories (Sony CSL), UEI Co., Ltd., and WiL, LLC. It was founded to build upon the "Delta Project," a collaborative effort between Sony CSL and UEI that began in 2014. GHELIA is currently led by CEO Ryo Simizu.

GHELIA's core mission is to facilitate the widespread social implementation of AI technology, initially focusing on industrial applications. The company provides AI-based software solutions to a diverse range of industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, and finance. Its business model revolves around offering advanced AI solutions and a platform that enables clients to develop and deploy AI, aiming to provide "differentiable AI technology." Revenue is generated through these customized AI solutions and platform services.

The company's offerings encompass a wide array of AI capabilities. These include image analysis, natural language processing, reinforcement learning, data analysis, and predictive analytics. GHELIA has developed specialized technologies such as diagnostic AI that can make rapid and accurate predictions from small data samples, and analysis prediction AI that accelerates physical and chemical simulations. Other proprietary technologies focus on quantifying human sensory evaluations, detecting anomalies in inspection footage, and understanding human behavior through image and video analysis. The firm also works with special sensors like LiDAR and infrared to process information beyond human perception. Since its inception, GHELIA has secured multiple rounds of venture capital funding, with its latest Series C round in January 2023, from investors including Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha, Globis Capital Partners, and Norinchukin Capital.
