Cybercore Co., Ltd. is pleased to announce that in April 2025, it signed a sales partnership agreement with Hashizume Shoji Co., Ltd., which is also headquartered in Iwate Prefecture, and has begun collaborating with Hashizume Shoji’s newly established DX Solutions Department to expand sales of Cybercore’s AI solution technology.

Hashizume Shoji was founded in 1928 and has been handling a wide range of materials and goods, from construction and industrial materials to industrial chemicals and office equipment. In April 2024, we established a new DX Solutions Department with the aim of promoting DX in the region. We will support the introduction of digital technologies to support labor saving and business transformation in regions facing challenges such as a rapidly changing natural environment, legal regulations, and labor shortages.
Cybercore was founded in 2007 with the desire to “serve as a place for talented students in Iwate Prefecture,” and is a solutions provider that specializes in AI solutions, having won multiple division championships at the global computer vision conference CVPR. Since its founding, the company has continued to accept students from Iwate Prefecture as interns and new employees, and will use this collaboration with Hashizume Shoji as a foothold to expand sales of its solutions to customers in Iwate Prefecture and neighboring prefectures.

Since the two companies began collaborating in April 2025, two manufacturing companies have already begun considering the introduction of specific solutions, which have been highly praised.
Hiroshi Hashizume, CEO of Hashizume Shoji Co., Ltd said, “We recognize that the region’s population will continue to decline and that it is inevitable that companies will face increasing labor shortages. In order to take measures early, we will advance our own digital transformation and continue to discover and evaluate digital products and develop human resources so that we can be of service to local companies.”
Yoshihiro Tamaki, CEO of Cybercore Corporation said, “By utilizing Hashizume Shoji’s spirit of customer service rooted in the local community and our company’s cutting-edge technology, we will work closely with our customers to solve local issues and create value.”
