Accenture opened the Center for Advanced AI in Kyoto, Japan, dedicated to empowering clients with cutting-edge AI technologies, particularly generative AI, to drive the reinvention of their organizations.
The center functions as a hub where clients can gain inspiration and forge new paths for their business transformations, which contribute to economic growth in Japan.
The Accenture Center for Advanced AI Kyoto focuses on business creation, Co-creation of services, and research & development. This center generates innovative ideas using cutting-edge AI and data, transforming them into services that offer unique consumer experiences.

The center collaborates with other innovation hubs in Japan and worldwide to conduct world-class research and development around AI technology and its application to people, society, and business.
“At the Accenture Center for Advanced AI Kyoto, business leaders can deepen their understanding of AI, gain new insights into corporate management through interactions with AI, and discover how to use AI to shape the future of their businesses,” said Dr. Gakuse Hoshina, Senior Managing Director and AI Center Lead, Accenture.
