Box and AWS have inked a multi-year SCA of high importance aimed at changing how global enterprises unlock value from their content using AI. This exciting news pushes the ICM sector ahead. It shows both companies are committed to using AI in enterprise workflows. Japan’s growing digital landscape will benefit greatly from this collaboration. AI adoption in many industries will drive this change.
A New Era of Intelligent Content Management
The agreement deepens the long-standing partnership of Box with AWS and focuses on building next-generation AI agents powered by advanced AI services and cloud infrastructure from Amazon. With enterprises increasingly dependent on unstructured data—documents, contracts, designs, videos, and other business-critical content—Box seeks to deliver AI tools that will be able to understand and act upon this information at scale.
AI works only when it has proper access to meaningful context, much of which lives within the enterprise content, Box CEO Aaron Levie stressed. In continuing to reinforce its integration with AWS, Box positions its platform as a hub of enterprise intelligence where organizations transform static information into strategic insights.

AWS leadership echoed this, too, in terms of how agent-based AI might redefine the way employees interact with data, automate routine tasks, and facilitate quicker decision-making.
New AI Capabilities Unveiled
The collaboration brings a number of new offerings focused on enhancing automation, analytics, and security:
Box AI Agent Powered by Amazon Bedrock
This new agent uses Amazon Bedrock models to drive automation for complex content workflows. It can:
Summarize lengthy documents
Extract metadata for compliance
FAQs Generation from several files
Build intelligent automation pipelines
The ability to customize agents makes it particularly valuable in industries like manufacturing, finance, healthcare, public sector operations, and even large Japanese enterprises, where the administrative burden is significant.
Advanced Multimodal Analytics
By utilizing Amazon Nova Multimodal Embeddings, Box is now able to process text, video, images, and audio stored on the platform for a unified semantic understanding that greatly enhances search accuracy. This opens the door for more sophisticated content-driven automation, especially relevant in Japan, where industries are increasingly dependent on multimedia documentation.
Amazon Quick Suite integration
Users can extract insights, generate new content, and take action on Box data directly inside Quick Suite. This functionality supports Japan’s enterprises that integrate cloud productivity suites as part of their digital transformation programs.
AI-driven Developer Tools
Customizations for Amazon Q Developer and compatibility with Amazon Strands, Kiro, and Bedrock AgentCore allow teams to build customized, AI-enhanced content workflows. For Japan’s developer and startup community, these features lower the barrier to creating intelligent enterprise applications.
Box Expands to AWS Marketplace
Starting in 2026, Box solutions can be procured directly by US customers via AWS Marketplace, making procurement easier and faster and accelerating deployment. While the marketplace rollout will start in the US, this trend may indicate future access for enterprises in other regions, too, including Japan, where AWS has maintained one of its strongest global footprints.
Impact on Japan’s Technology Industry
Japan has been accelerating the adoption of AI-powered corporate tools driven by labor shortages, rising operational complexity, and the need for global competitiveness. The extended collaboration by Box and AWS brings a number of benefits to Japanese businesses:
Stronger Support for Digital Transformation
Large volumes of unstructured information surround most of Japan’s legacy enterprises, be it manufacturing, finance, or logistics. Box’s AI agents automate compliance reporting, processing documentation, and internal workflows, reducing manual workloads and improving data accuracy.
Boost for Remote and Hybrid Work Environments
Japan continues to adopt hybrid work models. Intelligent content automation enables collaboration across distributed teams in a seamless manner, making sharing easier without compromising security.
Opportunities for Local SaaS and AI Startups
The improved developer ecosystem built around the new Box SDK and AWS AI services could also motivate Japanese startups to develop a variety of solutions for local industries, from legal tech to healthcare content analytics.
Reinforcement of Japan’s Cloud Strategy
Japan is prioritizing secure and scalable cloud solutions. This focus supports modernization for both government and businesses. The ボックス-AWS alliance offers a strong, dependable foundation for businesses. It meets national standards for cybersecurity and data governance.
A Catalyst for AI-Driven Innovation in Japan
Enterprise content management is changing. AI is now a key part, not just an extra feature. This shift is perfect for Japan. Corporations and the government are pushing digital transformation. This sets up a great space for using advanced AI content tools.
As organizations of all sizes across the country drive to improve productivity, reduce operational costs, and uncover new business value, this partnership between Box and AWS offers a technology roadmap designed for the AI-first future-a future Japan is rapidly preparing for.
