Cloud Navi Officially Recognized as Alibaba Cloud Distributor for Japan Market

In a significant advancement for cloud services in Japan, Cloud Navi Co., Ltd., headquartered in Tokyo, has been officially recognized as a distributor for Alibaba Cloud, effective August 2025. This partnership positions Cloud Navi among the top partners of Alibaba Cloud in the Japanese market, reaffirming their capabilities in selling cloud services, technical support, and localized AI solutions.

Alibaba Cloud, known as a leading cloud provider in Asia, has been accelerating its investments in the Japanese market over recent years, offering high-performance, cost-effective, and reliable cloud and AI infrastructure. As a newly appointed distributor, Cloud Navi aims to deepen its partnership with Alibaba Cloud, facilitating the digital transformation (DX), cost optimization, and enhanced business operations for Japanese companies through advanced AI utilization.

Established in December 2022, Cloud Navi was founded by a team of engineers and business professionals with over a decade of experience in the cloud industry. Some of the founding members have led business development initiatives for Alibaba Cloud in Japan, providing them with valuable insights and proven success in localizing cloud adoption for Japanese enterprises.

The company has successfully supported various Japanese industries, including gaming, internet, manufacturing, and retail, particularly excelling in new constructions within the Alibaba Cloud environment, cloud migration, and managed service provider (MSP) operations. Furthermore, Cloud Navi offers round-the-clock technical and operational support in Japanese, Chinese, and English, acting as a bridge between Japanese businesses and global technology, ensuring prompt and practical technical assistance.

In the field of AI, Cloud Navi is intensifying its support for localized deployment of advanced multimodal AI solutions, leveraging Alibaba Cloud's Large Language Model (LLM) known as Qwen, as well as image and video generation models such as Wan and HappyHorse. The comprehensive support offered by Cloud Navi includes API integration for generative AI, prompt design, fine-tuning using industry data, on-premises implementation, and A/B testing, enabling Japanese companies to harness AI technology quickly, securely, and effectively.

To further its strategic objectives as Alibaba Cloud's distributor in Japan, Cloud Navi plans to focus on three main strategies:

1. Continuous Expansion of Cloud Customer Base: The company intends to provide comprehensive cloud services encompassing optimal cloud architecture design, migration support, MSP operations, cost optimization, and security measures to both existing and prospective clients.

2. Expansion of Tier 2 Channel Partner Ecosystem: By strengthening collaborations with Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), Systems Integrators (SIs), and IT service providers, Cloud Navi aims to develop a local ecosystem capable of meeting diverse industry needs. This initiative will foster growth through sales support, technical aid, and collaborative proposals with partner companies.

3. Local Deployment of AI Solutions: Cloud Navi will promote the integration of Alibaba Cloud's advanced models, including the LLM Qwen, and image/video generation models, into practical business operations for Japanese enterprises. This will involve supporting various use cases such as operational efficiency, knowledge utilization, customer support, and content generation to drive business transformation.

Committing to the comprehensive localization of AI solutions as a core part of its medium- and long-term strategy, Cloud Navi will leverage advanced AI models from Alibaba Cloud, including Qwen, which is recognized as one of the leading open-source LLMs globally. Qwen excels in multilingual capabilities, contextual understanding, and business-customized performance. Additionally, the utilization of multimodal AI models like Wan and HappyHorse for image and video generation is gaining traction.

Cloud Navi will provide extensive support for these models, including API utilization, on-site implementation, infrastructure establishment for inference, and integration with business systems, all aimed at accelerating the implementation of generative AI within Japanese enterprises.
