Anfini Inc. Moves Headquarters to Naha, Okinawa
On August 7, 2026, Anfini Inc., led by CEO Jun Hashimoto, officially announced the relocation of its headquarters from Minato, Tokyo, to Naha, Okinawa. This strategic shift aims to expand the company’s operations and reinforce its commitment to local support systems and AI initiatives.
A New Structure for Business Operations
The headquarters move is part of a broader strategy that capitalizes on the strengths of both Okinawa and Tokyo. In Okinawa, the company aims to establish itself as a core hub for its AI ventures. This includes enhancing recruitment and training of specialized personnel in AI, marketing, and design. Anfini will provide comprehensive support to local businesses, from formulating AI utilization strategies to development, implementation, and integration. The goal is to create new careers and jobs, building a robust foundation rooted in the community.
In Tokyo, Anfini plans to further expand its consulting business and encourage new ventures from its Anfini Incubation Studio. Both the Okinawa and Tokyo locations will work together, leveraging their specialized capabilities to assist companies in driving managerial transformations and creating new values.
Background of the Move
1.
Expansion of AI Operations in Okinawa
Anfini embraces the concept of "AtoB (AI to Business)," aiming to utilize AI not just as a means of operational efficiency but as a catalyst for redesigning business and industrial structures. In January 2026, the company inaugurated the "Ryukyu AI Park" to foster AI-related projects, establish nearshore structures, and connect with local enterprises. The decision to relocate its headquarters to Okinawa is aimed at further expanding this initiative, setting Okinawa as the central hub for Anfini's AI operations.
2.
The Impact of AI on Local Industries and Employment
The rapid advancement of AI is transforming business operations, industrial structures, and the roles required in the workforce significantly. Especially in rural areas, creating new employment opportunities, nurturing digital talent, and embedding AI into day-to-day business practices are crucial issues. Anfini views AI as a foundation for expanding human potential rather than simply replacing jobs, aiming to cultivate new industries and job opportunities.
3.
Building a Specialized Workforce in Okinawa
Anfini boasts a team of experts specializing in areas such as AI, based in Okinawa. This specialized workforce will help local companies tackle managerial and business challenges through AI strategy development, implementation, and continuity initiatives. Furthermore, it aims to promote career development and job creation for local talent, contributing to the advancement of Okinawa’s industries.
Anfini’s Future Vision
Moving forward, Anfini plans to leverage both its Okinawa and Tokyo bases to provide extensive support for managerial transformations in the AI era. The strategy is to accumulate knowledge regarding AI utilization, human resource development, and collaboration with local companies through its operations in Okinawa, eventually paving the way for new industries and jobs powered by AI.
Additionally, Anfini aims to strengthen the capacity to support organizations from conception to execution across its consulting, AI, and incubation sectors. By viewing AI not merely as a tool for operational efficiency but as a foundation for expanding the possibilities of businesses and communities, Anfini is positioned to contribute to creating new values.
