@Toyota: TRI-AD announces it will actively participate in SmartCityX, a global open innovation program to incubate new businesses and explore partners beyond today’s existing domains

Background

In order to further expand and improve its operations, TRI-AD announced on July 28, 2020, that, effective January 2021, it will shift to a holding company and two operating companies. The holding company will be Woven Planet Holdings, Inc. (“Woven Planet Holdings”), and the two operating companies under it will be Woven CORE, Inc. (“Woven CORE”), and Woven Alpha, Inc. (“Woven Alpha”). Under the new Woven Planet Holdings structure, they will explore new business opportunities to create new values such as Woven City, Arene*1, and Automated Mapping Platform*2 (“AMP”) in order to deliver mobility (including the mobility of people, goods, and information) to everyone in addition to the establishment of automated driving technologies they have developed.

By participating in this program, TRI-AD will deepen collaborations with companies such as Scrum Ventures and five other partner companies, and will work with cutting-edge startups around the world to develop future businesses and implement concrete service applications in society.
