Japan Data Science Consortium (JDSC) operates as an AI and data science-focused firm, aiming to enhance the productivity of Japanese industries. The company was initially founded as a general incorporated association in 2013 by Satoshi Erdös Kato, who previously worked at McKinsey & Company and P&G. Recognizing the potential for data utilization to fundamentally alter corporate and social structures, Kato established the entity, which later transitioned into a joint-stock corporation in July 2018.
JDSC is publicly traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market. The firm's business model centers on providing comprehensive, end-to-end AI solutions, from strategy and system development to operational implementation and maintenance. Revenue is generated through the development and licensing of AI algorithm modules, alongside consulting services. The company targets entire industries rather than individual companies, addressing large-scale challenges to maximize social impact. This approach has led to partnerships with leading companies in core sectors like manufacturing, logistics, energy, and healthcare.
A key aspect of JDSC's strategy is its strong ties to academia, particularly The University of Tokyo. The firm leverages knowledge from university laboratories specializing in IoT, data utilization, AI, and blockchain to bridge the gap between academic research and practical business applications. This collaboration is a core component of their competitive advantage. JDSC's services are designed to have a direct impact on profitability by increasing human productivity with AI support, rather than replacing human labor. Notable solutions include 'demand insight' for supply chain demand forecasting, a frailty detection system using electricity data, and technology to reduce failed deliveries by predicting recipient presence. The company also engages in joint ventures, such as Seawise Inc. with Mitsui & Co., to tackle challenges in the maritime sector.
