iPresence has raised 30 million yen from a fund backed by Minato Bank, Resona Capital, and Minato Capital. Not a massive round, but that’s not the point here. The company is doubling down on building systems that mix AI, digital twins, and robotics into one working layer.
The organization specializes in developing telepresence robots together with 3D digital twin platforms. The system enables users to control and supervise their physical environment from a remote location. The system provides applications for factories and government installations and healthcare facilities and educational institutions. Anywhere physical presence is still a bottleneck.
This matters because industries are quietly hitting a wall. Skilled labor is tight. Operations are spread out. And sending people everywhere just doesn’t scale anymore. So the shift is happening. Less ‘be there,’ more ‘control from anywhere.’

iPresence is playing right in that gap. Integrate AI-enabled decisions, digital twins for transparency, and robots for execution. That stack is where things are moving.
This round is small, but the direction is clear. Remote operations are not a side feature anymore. They are slowly becoming the base layer.
