Participation in the "Trust Security Consortium" On December 26, 2024, six domestic tech startups, including Initial Point Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, CEO: Toshihiko Shimamura), announced the establishment of the "Trust Security Consortium" (Minato, Tokyo), a consortium aimed at developing technologies and services for the safe utilization of cybersecurity and artificial intelligence (AI). The consortium includes collaborations with six companies such as ZenmuTech (Tokyo, Chuo) specializing in "secret sharing," Anchors (Tokyo, Taito) focusing on authentication software, Enjyu Kogyo (Takizawa City, Iwate Prefecture) involved in drone control, and Logic and Design (Tokyo, Shinjuku) working on image enhancement. Emerging companies from diverse fields such as authentication technology, drones, and image processing will collaborate to promote domestic cybersecurity products and revitalize the market. In the future, new services will be developed by integrating the technologies of each company.

(Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, President: Zenichi Taguchi, hereinafter referred to as "ZenmuTech"), which pursues data protection and utilization through "secret sharing technology" that encrypts and manages information in a distributed manner, are pleased to announce that they have formed a strategic alliance to balance security and convenience in remote work environments.

The efforts of the Trust Security Consortium are cited as a reference example. On March 5, 2025, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry announced the compilation of a comprehensive policy package called the "Cybersecurity Industry Promotion Strategy" to strengthen Japan's cybersecurity industry and technological foundation. In the announcement materials, under "Initiatives in the Industry," the establishment and efforts of the Trust Security Consortium, which includes six security startups, are highlighted as a reference example of "technological collaboration by security startups" aimed at developing technologies and services, promoting domestic products, and revitalizing the market.
