Mitsubishi Electric Invests in AI Startup Sakana AI

Targeting solutions that use AI foundation-model technologies to address social challenges

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today that it has invested in Sakana AI Inc., a Japan-based AI startup that develops next‑generation AI-foundation models. Through this collaboration, Mitsubishi Electric aims to create new solutions and expand businesses related to its SerendieTM digital platform by leveraging Sakana AI’s expertise in using AI to optimize complex, tacit‑knowledge‑rich, highly challenging business operations.

Due to rapid advances in generative AI and the growing complexity of social challenges, many companies are interested in using generative AI for transformational initiatives, such as launching new businesses and automating or enhancing existing operations. Sakana AI’s advanced AI technologies integrate methods for optimally composing multiple foundational models for inference with approaches that enable AI to learn and utilize tacit domain knowledge and accumulated expertise.

Mitsubishi Electric expects to provide customers with solutions that enable precise decision‑making in complex business domains where conventional, general‑purpose AI models and applications have struggled. Mitsubishi Electric plans to combine its strengths—components, customer assets and the domain knowledge it has accumulated in diverse businesses—with Sakana AI’s advanced AI foundation-model technologies.

Mitsubishi Electric will create solutions for a wide range of sectors, including manufacturing and infrastructure. The goal is to expand Serendie-related businesses and accelerate the company’s transformation into an innovation-driven enterprise through digitalization, thereby contributing to the resolution of various social challenges.
