Summary

A briefing for Tokyo-area AI development companies on Niigata Prefecture's new Niigata AI Digital Playground initiative. The program centers on three pillars: matching real on-the-ground problems at Niigata-based companies with AI developers from inside and outside the prefecture, an AI implementation subsidy of up to 10 million yen per project, and the inaugural Niigata AI Expo 2026 scheduled for October next year. The 90-minute session runs in hybrid format from TiB next to Yurakucho Station and online, covering the full business overview, how the AI problem-matching scheme works, the subsidy program details, expo exhibition opportunities, and Q&A. The prefecture aims to fund roughly 15 implementation projects, making this useful for developers looking to apply their tech to real SME use cases, teams that want to move beyond PoC into production deployments, and companies interested in building networks with local government, universities, and regional businesses. Free to attend. Onsite capacity is 50, online is unlimited, and archive viewing is available.
