Korean indoor-positioning AI,into Japanese facilities.

For IPIN LABS’ entry into Japan, AlphaDrive is not an adviser on the side. We are the exclusive distributor in Japan, and we stand at the front of the business.

Market research and entry strategy. Early networking and customer development. Marketing and sales. Everything it takes to start a business in the Japanese market is executed by one team, end to end.

We bring to it what AlphaDrive has built over years of new-business development in Japan, a working network across large Japanese corporations and the business-development capability that goes with it.

The first major result is Shimizu Corporation, secured as the initial proof-of-concept partner, with a PoC now running at its NOVARE innovation hub.

Strong technology alone does not get you into Japan.

IPIN LABS is a technology company from Korea whose indoor positioning is built on deep learning.

But a technology that is proven overseas still has to be redesigned as a business for the Japanese market, all the way through these questions.

• Which industries and use cases to enter through
• How to make the value clear to Japanese companies
• How to meet the first customer
• How to get from a PoC to full deployment

AlphaDrive joined to take on exactly that, the launch of the business in Japan itself.

Research. Strategy. Meetings. Sales. Proof.

The first proof of concept is with Shimizu Corporation.

We secured a PoC with Shimizu Corporation in the early stage of market entry.

In August 2026, technical verification of indoor positioning on company smartphones began at NOVARE, Shimizu’s innovation hub.

Not just introducing an overseas technology, but understanding the Japanese market, finding the first customer and taking the technology onto a real site.

AlphaDrive carries all of it.
