Mechanism of Causal Analysis AI Solution 「causal analysis」
In recent years, corporate management challenges have become more complex, increasing the need for data-driven decision-making. However, interpreting causal relationships from data requires repeated trial and error based on hypotheses, which takes an enormous amount of time.
causal analysis is a solution born from NEC's research and development that automates the exploration of causal relationships through AI, improving the speed of customer decision-making. Since beginning operations at NEC in 2020, it has been used for purposes such as visualizing human psychology in marketing and human resources fields and connecting it to effective measures. Through this carve-out, the company will accelerate further business growth and contribution to solving customer challenges.
hootfolio will provide causal analysis to a wide range of fields, including product development, customer relationship enhancement, human resource management, business management, and public policy. Additionally, for rapid business expansion, the company will actively pursue further strengthening of products and technology through external fundraising, partner collaborations, and more. The company aims for an IPO by 2030 and envisions future business expansion into the United States.
BIRD INITIATIVE will continue to aim for Carve out Studio®, which leverages cutting-edge technologies, human resources, and other assets accumulated by large corporations to establish companies and scale them by incorporating external funding at startup-like speed.
NEC will continue to advance new business development to convert technological strengths into customer value, implement them in society, and create innovation.
