CINCA Invests in Sincecore to Enhance Governance with ShinmiraiNavi

In a significant move to enhance corporate governance and internal whistleblower processes, CINCA, based in Minato, Tokyo, has announced its investment in Sincecore, the company behind the innovative dialog governance platform known as 'ShinmiraiNavi'. Sincecore, headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, focuses on supporting businesses managing 'high-risk interviews' such as internal reporting responses, harassment consultations, mental health discussions, and crisis management.

Overview of ShinmiraiNavi

'ShinmiraiNavi' has been developed as a comprehensive service that assists various high-stakes interactions within companies. With the recent amendments to the Public Interest Whistleblower Protection Act, the platform aims to be aligned with these regulations, starting with internal whistleblower support as its primary focus area. By merging AI-SaaS with the insights of domain experts, like social insurance labor consultants and attorneys, Sincecore’s platform is designed to facilitate seamless dialogue — from preparation before interviews to discussion support during meetings, and ultimately to documentation and operational improvements after the discussions.

This technology seeks to eliminate the variability in handling such sensitive matters, which often rely heavily on the personal experiences of individual staff members. By providing a more structured and dependable framework for conducting these high-risk interviews, the solution aims to standardize quality and reduce psychological burdens on participants.

The Rationale Behind CINCA's Investment

The increasing demand for robust corporate governance has prioritized the need for effective communication when addressing sensitive issues like whistleblowing. However, high-risk interviews often create inconsistencies and place psychological stress on responsible personnel, primarily driven by their individual skills and experiences. The enforcement of the revised Public Interest Whistleblower Protection Act, set for December 1, 2026, further underscores the urgency for robust systems to ensure that organizations can effectively manage and justify the processes and decisions made in these interviews.

Sincecore is an offshoot of DNP's innovative business creation program, 'OneAB Studio', where CINCA has played a supporting role in developing new business ideas into viable ventures. Through this investment, CINCA aims not just to support business inception but also to foster Sincecore's growth and wider implementation in the market.

Future Prospects for Sincecore

Looking ahead to the planned launch of 'ShinmiraiNavi' in Autumn 2026, Sincecore is currently finalizing the service development while also focusing on engaging with potential client companies and setting up operational systems. Collaborations with advanced enterprises across various sectors are underway, aiming to facilitate early adoption of the platform in real business contexts.

The company’s vision extends to enhancing corporate governance through the expansion of ShinmiraiNavi’s capabilities and increasing the client base, contributing to the establishment of workplaces where both employees seeking help and those providing assistance can engage in conversations with confidence and security.
