Neo Edge Lab: Comprehensive AI Solutions

On November 4, 2025, Neo Edge Inc., a startup originating from the University of Tokyo and led by CEO Shunsei Sendō, will officially launch its new service, Neo Edge Lab. This innovative offering integrates AI contract development, system development, and IT consulting into a cohesive support system, designed to expedite AI adoption in businesses.

Purpose and Background of the Service

Neo Edge has identified a critical challenge that many companies face: a significant gap between the initial concept of AI implementation and its actual execution. To address this, Neo Edge Lab has been established, aiming to bridge that gap by seamlessly integrating AI development, system creation, and consulting services. With a focus on translating cutting-edge research findings into practical business applications, the company seeks to assist organizations, especially those keen on harnessing generative AI and large language models (LLMs).

The goal is clear: elevate AI utilization from experimental stages to becoming a fundamental aspect of managerial infrastructure by providing consistent support throughout the planning, development, and operational phases.
