Based on world-class automotive products and advanced mechatronics technology cultivated over many years, Aisin aims to create new value that enriches people's lives.
Currently, in the period of mobility transformation, we perceive the issues to be tackled from multiple angles, such as achieving carbon neutrality, optimizing energy, and improving user experience through digital technology, not limited to the evolution of mere "means of transportation."
In this co-creation, we want to depict a "new standard" that supports society 10 years from now by combining Aisin's "solid implementation power and resources" with the "disruptive technology and speed" of startups. We look forward to meeting partners who have the passion to make society better, without being bound by specific fields.


Challenges we want to solve through co-creation：
Rapid creation and execution of new businesses. Creating new business pillars outside the automotive domain.


Under the group vision "Inspiring 'movement', creating tomorrow's smiles," Aisin is accelerating "mobility transformation" such as electrification and intelligence of automobiles. However, our goal is not merely to provide parts, but to update people's "movement" itself to be more free, enjoyable, and sustainable.
Currently, we aim to solve social issues beyond existing frameworks, such as realizing carbon neutrality, building a circular society, and creating new mobility experiences using advanced digital technology. We want to accelerate social implementation by incorporating fresh perspectives from startups without sticking to specific areas.

The Technology We Seek in Startups

・AI/Data Analysis: Utilization of vehicle and behavioral data, edge computing technology.
・Next-gen Materials/Circular Economy: Recycling technology, biomaterials, new materials contributing to weight reduction.
・Energy Management: Elemental technologies and control software related to hydrogen, batteries, and power optimization.
・UX/HMI Technology: Interfaces appealing to sensibilities, vital sensing, XR technology.
・Robotics/Automation: Technologies contributing to labor saving in logistics, last mile, and production sites.

Examples of Co-Creation Ideas

・Creation of added value in "Mobility x Living": Development of services and devices that improve people's well-being during, before, and after movement.
・Zero environmental load manufacturing/products: Construction of a new resource circulation model achieving CO2 emission reduction throughout the entire lifecycle.
・Optimization of movement via Digital Twin: City-level optimal mobility solutions combining real hardware (vehicle parts, etc.) and digital technology.
・Redefinition of existing assets: Ideas to divert Aisin's mechatronics technology to fields other than automobiles (space, housing, nursing care, etc.).

Available resources

・Global customer network and supply chain: Strong trust relationships with finished car manufacturers around the world.
・Advanced manufacturing technology and production facilities: Mechatronics technology cultivated over many years, evaluation/testing facilities, and prototyping knowledge.
・Data and knowledge of diverse product groups: Technological accumulation regarding a wide range of in-vehicle products from powertrains to brakes, bodies, and information systems.
・Demonstration fields for social implementation: Know-how of demonstration experiments in cooperation with local communities and local governments.
