Anfini's FY26 Kick-off Meeting
On June 12, 2026, Anfini Co., Ltd., led by Jun Hashimoto, hosted its FY26 Kick-off Meeting at the prestigious Bulgari Hotel in Tokyo. This event brought together employees from various regions across Japan, creating a vibrant atmosphere for sharing ideas and strategies.
During the meeting, Anfini presented its medium-term vision and detailed strategies for the upcoming fiscal year. A highlight of the event was the presentation of the "Anfini Award 2026," which recognized team members who delivered exceptional results in 2025. This award underlines the company’s commitment to fostering a culture of excellence and achievement among its workforce.
Ending Japan's Lost Decade
Hashimoto introduced the company’s ambitious "AtoB (AI to Business)" initiative. Unlike viewing Artificial Intelligence merely as a tool for operational efficiency, AtoB aims to redefine corporate philosophy, business practices, and organizational structures with AI at the core. This strategy is crucial as Japan grapples with productivity stagnation, workforce displacement due to the AI era, and the risk of technological offshoring.
By nurturing domestic nearshore bases, Anfini plans to create new industries and job opportunities. A key component of this initiative includes the establishment of the "Ryukyu AI Park," which focuses on developing AI talent and jobs in Okinawa, ultimately contributing to the creation of a pioneering AI industry model originating from Japan.

Launching the Management Strategy Office
In addition to the strategic initiatives, the newly established "Management Strategy Office" was introduced, aiming to design a culture that nurtures the happiness of future colleagues and their loved ones within the next five years. This office is tasked with more than just shaping organizational structures; it plays a vital role in cultivating a culture that embodies the essence of Anfini.
During the meeting, members individually declared their commitments, sharing their responsibilities and determination to build a better organization for the future.
