About Technica AI

From Business Challenge to
AI That Works in Practice.

Technica AI is an enterprise AI company based in Tokyo and Hanoi. We bring research, solution development, integration and operations together to take on complex business and technical requirements.

We start with your business: its goals, processes and constraints. We identify where proven technologies fit, where new development is needed, and carry the work through to systems your teams can use.

What Drives Technica AI.

Mission, Vision & Values

MISSION

Turning Advanced AI
into Real Business Value.

We transform advanced AI technologies into practical solutions that solve complex business challenges. By combining research, engineering, and a deep understanding of real-world operations, we help organizations improve productivity, quality, and decision-making.

VISION

Turning Enterprise Knowledge
into Business Momentum with AI.

We connect knowledge and experience across the enterprise, creating shared intelligence that evolves through practical use.
We envision a future where AI puts that intelligence to work in decisions and action, opening new possibilities for business.

VALUES

Three principles that guide how we think, decide, and act.

  1. 01 Problems Before Technology

    Understand the Problem Before Choosing the Technology.

    We begin by understanding the real challenges behind our clients' operations. Working closely with them, we identify root causes and design solutions based on business needs, not technology trends.

  2. 02 Outcomes over Outputs

    Measure Success by Impact, Not Deliverables.

    Delivering a working system is only the beginning. We focus on how technology is adopted, how it improves daily operations, and the measurable value it creates over time.

  3. 03 Proof Beyond Promise

    Build Trust Through Evidence, Not Claims.

    We validate our technologies through rigorous testing and real-world evidence. We communicate capabilities and limitations transparently, making commitments based on what we can demonstrate and deliver.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do you staff and manage enterprise AI projects?

Our projects are delivered by teams from Technica AI Inc. in Japan and Technica Co., Ltd. in Vietnam. As of September 2026, the two companies have a combined workforce of 59 employees.
We generally carry out development within our group rather than outsourcing it to external subcontractors. Our leadership team brings experience in AI research, software engineering, technology consulting, and business management. For more information, see Leadership Team on this page.

Are you a Japanese or Vietnamese company? Which entity will I contract with?

Technica operates through two companies: Technica AI Inc. in Japan and Technica Co., Ltd. in Vietnam.
For clients in Japan, contracts are generally signed with Technica AI Inc., which also serves as the primary point of contact throughout the engagement, from initial discussions to delivery.
For more information about their respective responsibilities, see our Company overview.

Can you communicate and deliver projects in Japanese?

Yes. Our Japan-based team handles client communication in Japanese throughout the project, from requirements definition to delivery. Specifications, meeting minutes, and project reports are also prepared in Japanese.
For projects involving our Hanoi development center, our Japan-based team remains your primary point of contact. All business analysts at our Vietnam office are also proficient in Japanese.

Can you provide on-site support?

Yes. While development is primarily carried out at our Tokyo and Hanoi offices, we can arrange on-site visits for meetings, technical workshops, implementation, and deployment support, depending on project requirements.

Which industries do you have experience in?

We have delivered more than 30 AI projects in Japan. Our published case studies cover telecommunications and contact centers, electronics and semiconductor equipment manufacturing, automotive recycling, staffing services, and broadcasting.
Visit our Case Studies section to learn more about the business challenges, technical approaches, and outcomes of these projects.

What engagement and contract models do you offer?

We offer several engagement options, including product deployment, feasibility studies and proofs of concept (PoCs), custom development, dedicated development teams, and joint research.
Depending on the nature of the project, development engagements may be structured as fixed-scope contracts or time-and-materials arrangements.
Fixed-scope contracts are suitable when requirements and deliverables can be defined in advance. Time-and-materials arrangements provide greater flexibility for projects with evolving requirements or ongoing development needs.
We also offer dedicated offshore development teams (ODCs), starting from one engineer, typically with a minimum engagement of six months.
For details about contracting entities, acceptance procedures, intellectual property rights, and pricing arrangements, see our Engagement Process.

Can we start with a small engagement?

Yes. We can begin with a short feasibility study, typically lasting one to two weeks, to assess technical viability and clarify the next steps.
Our phased approach allows you to evaluate the results before deciding whether to proceed.
Proofs of concept (PoCs) are generally paid engagements. For more information about each phase, see “How we work” on our Services page.

How do you ensure information security?

Information security is governed by our Basic Information Security Policy, established on June 3, 2025, and applied across our operations in Japan and Vietnam.
For each project, we agree with the client on data storage locations, cloud regions, and relevant security requirements. Deployment configurations that keep data within cloud regions in Japan are also available.
For details about our security policies and practices, see Information Security.

Is there a charge for an initial consultation?

No. Initial consultations are free of charge.
We welcome inquiries about business challenges, potential AI applications, or collaboration opportunities. After understanding your needs, we can suggest an appropriate approach.
If further technical research, analysis, or validation is required, we will explain the scope and costs in advance.

Can you provide documentation for vendor due diligence?

Yes. Upon request, we can provide financial statements, corporate registration documents, completed security questionnaires, and other relevant company information to support your vendor evaluation and due diligence process.
