With the recent frequent occurrence of major damage from typhoons and floods, the need for emergency toilet facilities is greater than ever. The widespread adoption of such a hygienic device is highly desirable, and thus it was selected.

The perspective of developing the sports business through a data-driven approach was recognized for its potential to deliver the joy of sports to a previously unreachable potential fan base.

The approach was highly rated for focusing on sensory receptors that handle the human body's sensor functions, mimicking their electrical responses with electronic circuits, and proposing and demonstrating a new sensing principle to build a machine-body interface.

This project was selected for its ease of implementing OCR (Optical Character Recognition), making it accessible to those without special skills or tools.

As new ways of working and self-realization are increasingly sought, a system like this is considered a potential aid.

Sharing expensive and hard-to-obtain research equipment has the potential to foster innovation by providing numerous research opportunities for independent researchers.

In the restaurant industry, shift scheduling and communication require significant effort. We felt that "CAST," which drastically reduces the time spent on creating and adjusting shifts while also facilitating communication, combines fun with practicality, and so we selected it.

<Reason for Selection>
We felt the potential for creating a new user experience in the "4D Light Crayon," which adds AI to the mechanism of drawing in space.
We expect this idea to be applicable not only in the entertainment field but also in the enterprise sector.

<Reason for Selection>
If nano-level small robots were developed, their combination could allow for freely changing sizes.
It would be truly versatile if a single technology could realize everything from medical robots functioning inside the human body to giant robots constructing skyscrapers.
Also, during disasters, if their shape can be freely changed, they could be highly effective in environments and places inaccessible to humans.

We recognized the technology that generates sound from fabric using special fibers and the proposal to use it by wearing it as clothing.
The act of "wearing clothes," something everyone does, gains expandability and new entertainment value, allowing for unprecedented experiences.
We were excited by the premonition of how future scenes could change.

<Reason for Selection>
There were so many wonderful ideas, and it was a very difficult decision.
Among them, this "119 Emergency Call App" was outstanding.
If this idea is further developed to link with vital signs, it could enable early information transmission to ambulance crews and doctors at receiving hospitals, potentially saving even one more life. That's why we selected it.

<Reason for Selection>
For the development of our country and the world, it is desirable for people with and without disabilities to coexist in society without special distinction.
This project allows people to experience and learn a little about the sensory experiences of autism, one of many disabilities.
We believe that this knowledge can be a catalyst for better empathy towards autistic individuals.
We find this groundbreaking and support this proposal.

<Reason for Selection>
First, we commend the curiosity in identifying the socially significant issue of natural energy generation in areas with little sunshine and scientifically analyzing the phenomenon.
The focus on natural science for a solution resonates with our company's concept of Nature Technology.
As a result, the idea of generating power with a conifer shape, overturning the preconception that solar power equals flat panels, is very innovative.
It's exciting to imagine a world where solar cells of this shape are used on Earth and in space.
We selected this project based on its future research potential, excellent perspective, high curiosity, and our expectations for these diligent young scientific minds.

<Reason for Selection>
In our globalized era, mastering Japanese is very difficult, and we find the learning process inefficient for both young Japanese people and foreigners.
If this tool could enable high-precision mutual conversion, it would be extremely useful not only in daily life but also in business scenarios.
The possibilities are endless if it could simultaneously include a translation function and support other major languages that must have similar challenges.
We have a hunch that it could scale if developed as a smartphone app.

SPELL MASTER is a yet-to-be-released magical tool that nurtures the innate adventurous and dreamy spirit of children, holding the potential to raise them into adults who believe they can achieve their dreams using English, even as non-native speakers.

<Reason for Selection>
Technological advancements are creating tools that compensate for disabilities, making them less of a barrier. However, many of these are still financially out of reach. We selected this proposal because this rehabilitation method eliminates the loss of opportunity for children without arms who had given up due to financial and motivational reasons.

<Reason for Selection>
We resonated with the sentiment embedded in the name "Hokkori."
This idea not only connects to the contribution and prospects of ICT in the welfare field but is also a high-quality system from the perspective of normalization.
We sincerely hope for its future practical use and the creation of many "hokkori" moments, and we offer our support!

<Reason for Selection>
Our company provides professional talent with various work style options such as "freelance," "side jobs," "career change," and "re-employment," and one of our missions is to create an environment where professional talent can thrive.
When going "independent" or taking on "side jobs," one must handle their own contract procedures. We feel that "AI-CON" is a service that supports the success of professional talent by making it easier to understand contract risks, even for those not well-versed in law.
