Bringing innovation to business and solving social issues with AI technology
In order to build a sustainable society and environment, companies must transform socio-economic and business practices that have caused problems in the past. We know that AI technology is a tool with a high potential for realizing sustainable innovation. Recursive has defined and focused on four areas where the use of AI is particularly effective in sustainability.
Accelerate Innovation
By processing vast amounts of information using AI technology rather than humans or conventional systems, new ideas and technologies can be generated in less time than ever before.
Increase Productivity
By replacing simple tasks previously performed by humans, productivity can be increased in a variety of industries.
Prepare for future risks
AI can also help minimize damage by predicting natural disasters based on accumulated data. AI can also predict human health risks and contribute to extending healthy life expectancy.
Deliver better work and education
AI's highly accurate matching technology can identify and deliver the most appropriate information and educational resources.

AI × Sustainability database
We are developing a database to consolidate and search for examples of AI x Sustainability applications that are attracting attention around the world.
Our approach
Customized solutions for unique business challenges
Each unique business challenge has its own optimal solution. Recursive's emphasis on consultation allows us to clarify the target figures and the scope of AI application, and then propose the best process to achieve a solution targets the root of the issue at hand.
Sustainability New Business Development Support
Companies have many options to transform their existing businesses or create new businesses and services in order to make a substantial contribution to solving social issues. Our consultants have a wealth of knowledge and can support companies from the initial stages of business development by highlighting potential needs and requirements.

A tool that supports efficient ESG management through data collection, analysis, and improvement proposals.
Our uniqueness
AI development by engineers who have met our rigorous standards.
Recursive's machine learning engineers are not only technically skilled, but also have a business perspective. This enables them to comprehensively understand business issues and develop AI that contributes to mid- to long-term solutions. In addition, when performance is insufficient, our machine learning engineers can verify and improve other models. This support is possible only with original AI, not open source utilization.
An organization of diverse and accomplished innovators
Our talented employees come from well-known companies such as Google and Apple, and have earned doctoral and master's degrees in physics and computer science from universities in Japan and abroad, all with a passion to contribute to the realization of a fair and sustainable society. Flexible and innovative ideas that defy stereotypes are born as all members, regardless of career, nationality, or gender, work on projects in an equitable manner.
Projects Flow
Here is an example of the flow from consultation to maintenance.
Understanding
We will gain an understanding of the issues clients want to solve, discuss together what kind of quantitative goals we should set, and clarify the extent to which AI can contribute.
Impact Analysis
If there are multiple issues, we will discuss which issue could be the most impactful to solve (sales, cost, ESG evaluation).
Development
In some cases, we may realize after discussion that an AI solution is not necessary. In addition to AI, we are also able to develop alternative systems and applications.
Solution Development/Deployment
It is important not only to develop AI but to design it as a solution that maximizes the use of the AI model.
Maintenance
Continuous tuning of AI models is very important. We have engineers overseas, so you can sign a maintenance contract without worrying about time zones.
Why Recursive
Cutting-edge AI image analysis technology to increase the accuracy of product development
Asahi Quality & Innovations, ltd.
Mr. Koji Tominaga
Director of the Institute of Brewing Science
We are collaborating with Recursive on AI image analysis to adapt to changing trends and ensure our product development yields better results. One of Recursive's greatest strengths is their ability to apply the world's most advanced AI technology into problem-solving.
Commitment to Sustainability is the Key
IHI Corporation
Mr. Yoshihisa Yamanouchi
Program Director of Integrated Social Solution, Strategic Project Dept.Corporate Strategy Headquarters
In line with its philosophy of "to help create economies in which nature and technology are in harmony," IHI is promoting a forest consulting business with Sumitomo Forestry to contribute to solving a major social issue facing nature: climate change adaptation and mitigation. The main reason why I wanted to talk to Recursive was that their core mission is to contribute to solving the SDGs. At our first web meeting, we learned that Recursive is building an international team rich in diversity with sharp people who share our core mission, and they are running their business without external funding. We started a joint project on the forest digital twin. At first, we were both groping and had a difficult time, but considering the results we can achieve together globally in the future, I believe we have found a great partner at the right time.

We've compiled years of advice on AI sustainability initiatives as well as AI development best practices in a single free document.
We've observed that progress in successful technological innovation is impeded by a lack of familiarity with these two key fields: understanding of sustainability and emergent technologies and an innovation oriented, agile organizational culture. We've gathered our research and industry know-how to provide you a wide understanding of these topics which can serve as a springboard to start an innovation initiative within your own organization.
