Ad-Dice Selected for Sakai City's Startup Demonstration Project

Ad-Dice Inc., headquartered in Taito, Tokyo and led by CEO Daisuke Ito, has officially been chosen as a supported company in the "Sakai City Startup Demonstration Project for FY2028". This initiative, organized by Sakai City and the Sakai New Business Creation Center (S-Cube), is part of a broader endeavor to validate innovative ideas using local resources and sectors within the city.

Objective and Background

The Sakai City Startup Demonstration Project aims to support businesses that engage in Proof of Concept (PoC) and Proof of Business (PoB) initiatives, utilizing community resources in line with the city's "Sakai City Basic Plan 2030". This year's initiative accepted only four companies out of 52 national applicants, highlighting the competitive nature of this prestigious endeavor.

Ad-Dice's focus is on developing an application that leverages voice analysis AI integrated with interactive affirmations to enhance individual performance. By collaborating with local educational institutions and businesses, this project seeks to validate the effectiveness of this innovative app.

Sakai City also strives to address critical social issues, including combating feelings of loneliness and isolation among its residents. The city identifies mental health, specifically regarding sleep and rest among working-age individuals, as a key challenge within its Sakai Health Plan.

A survey conducted by Sakai City in FY2027 revealed concerning trends among its citizens:

- 28.6% reported feeling a significant amount of stress daily (an increase from the previous survey).
- Over 20% of young women had experienced serious concerns.
- 47.2% of residents reported lacking community interaction.
