TOKYO, JAPAN-November 27, 2023 - Aldagram was selected for “TRIBUS 2023”, an accelerator program sponsored by Ricoh that aims to support startup companies and co-create businesses. TRIBUS is a program that recruits innovators from inside and outside Ricoh and leverages the resources of the Ricoh Group to create new value. The TRIBUS integrated pitch contest was held on October 19th, where the selected companies were chosen.
This program is in its fifth year. TRIBUS is an initiative of the Ricoh Group in Japan only. There were 183 applications for this accelerator program from both inside and outside Ricoh. During the Accelerator Program, Ricoh's entrepreneurial teams and startup companies will receive support from inside and outside the Ricoh Group. Ricoh's entrepreneurial teams and startup companies will examine business ideas and conduct demonstration tests. In this program, a startup company will be assigned an escort to collaborate with the Ricoh Group. Each startup company will present the results of the program on February 8, 2024.
Aldagram was selected from the field of "Co-creation to reform the way people work at construction sites". Aldagram released KANNA, a project management application in May 2022. KANNA is a "project management app" that increases onsite productivity in construction, real estate, manufacturing, and other non-deskwork industries worldwide. Through this selection, Aldagram will examine the initiatives and functions leading to solutions to the issues faced by construction sites.
By leveraging the knowledge and services of the Ricoh Group and KANNA, we will reform the way construction sites around the world operate and provide new value.
The comment : Aldagram Inc. Business Development Division - Atsushi Joden
”KANNA has acquired over 30,000 member companies in the 3 years since its release. Aldagram is very excited to be given the opportunity to co-create with Ricoh, which has strong connections with the construction industry in Japan and overseas and is aiming to transform itself from an office automation equipment manufacturer to a digital services company, in order to further grow KANNA and provide new added value to its customers. Through this program, we hope to overcome the challenges of the verification process, and to achieve results through service collaboration and sales cooperation between the two companies.”
