NTT, a colossal Japanese corporation employing over 300,000 people globally and boasting annual sales exceeding $100 billion, is expanding its footprint in the Israeli market. The partnership agreement was formalized during a visit that included Japan's Minister of Economy and an entourage of over 100 senior Japanese officials.
D-ID, an Israeli tech firm specializing in AI-driven media generation, will assist NTT Security in creating Digital Human avatars of their security staff. These avatars will serve as a platform for ongoing professional development and specialized training for senior teams. The collaboration was facilitated by NTT Israel's Innovation Center, which also initiated NTT Finance's investment in D-ID last year.
NTT Security is an industry-leading firm under the NTT umbrella, offering organizations and enterprises robust tools for early-stage cyber-attack detection and rapid response measures to mitigate harm.
Noa Asher, CEO of NTT Israel, said, "The alliance between NTT Security and D-ID merges two rapidly growing sectors in Japanese corporations and Israeli startups: cybersecurity and generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI). We are thrilled to spearhead this partnership and believe that ample opportunities remain for further collaborations between Israeli and Japanese companies in areas such as digital health, telecommunications, energy, and more."
"We are delighted about the agreement with NTT Security and the opportunity to work with one of the most prominent corporations in Japan and the world. D-ID's AI‑driven platform for creating Digital Humans helps organizations empower their employees and executives through customized, interactive learning experiences, along with other applications in customer experience, marketing, and sales,” said Gil Perry, CEO of D-ID.
“We have established a broad network of investors and customers in Japan, which is a crucial strategic market in our global expansion, and we're grateful for the support and assistance from our partners in NTT Israel."
