Details
On April 3, 2025, Upstage and Fusic signed a strategic business partnership in Tokyo to expand the adoption of generative AI solutions in Japan. Upstage will provide its LLM series, adopted by Fortune 500 companies, along with the lightweight, high-performance Syn model tailored for Japanese enterprises, combining these with Fusic's regional customer network to accelerate deployment.
The two companies will divide roles for execution.
- Upstage: Training on LLM and Document AI technologies, AI adoption consulting, support for deployment via AWS Marketplace
- Fusic: Expanding customer touchpoints, particularly identifying and driving PoCs in the Kyushu region
- Joint: Hosting seminars and hackathons, jointly developing PoCs, establishing go-to-market strategies, and cultivating AI talent
Fusic CEO Sadayoshi Notomi said that Fukuoka is closer to Seoul than to Tokyo, and that through collaboration with Upstage, a global AI company from Korea, they aim to strengthen their generative AI initiatives. Upstage will apply its technology more broadly to the Japanese market, jointly advancing Japan-Korea cooperation and the spread of region-based, human-centered AI.
