Summary
- Company: ＡＩ６株式会社 (法人番号 6010401128359, confirmed on the 国税庁 registry), Tokyo (港区赤坂).
- Business: Wi-Fi sensing (camera-free, in-home activity sensing), formerly Origin Wireless Japan. Representative 丸茂正人.
- Size: about 6 employees and capital of 80,000,000 yen (Tokyo Metropolitan Government page, April 2025).
- Three public grants found:
- 事業再構築補助金 round 2, 48,792,132 yen confirmed (gBizINFO)
- 東京都 ゼロエミッション東京イノベーション促進事業, 2025 selection
- NEDO SBIR推進プログラム, phase 2, FY2025 to FY2027
- Inference, not sourced: the 事業再構築 (5-year 事業化状況報告 cycle) and NEDO (runs to FY2027) grants likely still carry reporting duties; to confirm.
- Detail and sources: Part A.
- Programs open to a Tokyo SME in 2026: - デジタル化・AI導入補助金 (the former IT導入補助金) - 新事業進出・ものづくり商業サービス補助金: round 1 closes 30 Oct 2026 18:00 - 中小企業省力化投資補助金 - 小規模事業者持続化補助金: opens 5 Nov 2026 - 東京都中小企業振興公社 programs, through jGrants
- One gate: GビズIDプライム, applied for by the representative director only.
- Hard rule for 新事業進出・ものづくり: - Official text: 「必ず申請者自身で事業計画を作成してください」 ("the applicant must always write the business plan themselves") and 「作成自体を申請者以外が行うことは認められず、発覚した場合は不採択・採択取消・交付決定取消」 ("no one else may do the writing; if found, rejection, cancelled selection or cancelled grant"). Source: https://shinjigyou-monodukuri.smrj.go.jp/support/ (checked 22:13 ICT). - AI6's people must write that plan. AI can help only with research, data and editing. - The page says nothing about generative AI.
- Most of the burden comes after the grant: completion report with full evidence, yearly follow-up reports, limits on disposing of assets, clawback, and criminal penalties for false claims (補助金適正化法 Art. 29).

4. Fit — which 2026 programs it could plausibly apply for
Inference only, from the facts in §1–§3. Not eligibility rulings — final judgment always rests with each program's 公募要領.
Established eligibility-relevant facts: 株式会社; founded 2016 (10th year in 2026); registered in 東京都港区; 資本金 8,000万円; 従業員 6名 (both as of 2025-04 per the Tokyo page); unlisted, no published revenue; SME by both capital (≤1億円) and headcount; existing grant history (事業再構築補助金 2021, 東京都 zeroemi 2025, NEDO SBIR phase 2 2025).
| 2026 program | Plausible? | Reasoning from known facts |
|---|---|---|
| デジタル化・AI導入補助金 | Moderate (as applicant) | SME status fits the 中小企業者 requirement. Caveats: the program subsidizes purchase of registered vendors' IT tools — AI6 is a tool vendor, and no record of AI6 being a registered IT導入支援事業者 was found; as a buyer it could fund its own digitization. Prior grant history does not automatically bar it. |
| 新事業進出・ものづくり商業サービス補助金 | Moderate | SME with an active new-business track (AiCare Pro launch, AgeTech expansion) fits the "新事業進出" concept. Caveat: prior 事業再構築補助金受給 can restrict applications where the new plan overlaps the previously subsidized business (Wi-Fiセンシング見守り) — overlap judgment unknown. |
| 省力化投資補助金 | Weak | Targets 小規模事業者 investing in labor-saving machinery/equipment, mainly 製造・流通・飲食・小売等; a 6-person AI software/licensing firm has little machinery-type investment need. Not impossible (service-industry frames exist) but poor factual fit. |
| 持続化補助金（小規模事業者持続化補助金） | Likely ineligible | Requires 小規模事業者 (商業・サービス業等 従業員 5人以下 in Tokyo); the only public headcount is 6名 (2025-04) — over the cap. (Headcount basis/date-sensitive; excluded part-timers could change it, but no public data.) |
| 東京都中小企業振興公社 programs (e.g. 新製品・新技術開発助成, デジタル技術を活用した先進的サービス創出支援事業) | Plausible | Tokyo-registered SME developing new products/services fits the standing profile; no AI6 hit was found in past 振興公社 lists (so no duplication issue on record). |
| NEDO / startup programs | Plausible, strongest track | Already an NEDO SBIR 一気通貫型 フェーズ2 recipient (2025–2027); SBIR phase progression / follow-on themes are the natural path. Also fits 東京都's innovation-project continuity (zeroemi project runs 最長2年 from 2025). |
Eligibility facts still unknown (no public source found): current revenue (売上高); current employee count (latest public: 6名 as of 2025-04); whether スズケン/スズケンファンド's stake (~十数%) or AI6 Holdings triggers any 大企業資本関係/グループ判定; shareholding structure overall; 納税・社保状況; whether prior grants (2021 事業再構築, 2025 東京都) overlap any new plan's 事業内容 (重複補助判定); current applicant status of 東京都 zeroemi project (ongoing through ~2027, which may itself restrict concurrent applications).

What the representative must do personally: - Online: complete identity verification using My Number card read by a compatible smartphone via the GビズID app. - Paper: sign the application with the registered seal (実印) and send by post. - After account creation: the representative sets up the my-page and can issue GビズIDメンバー (staff) accounts.
Account validity: Prime and Member accounts have a validity period of 2 years 3 months from issue date (new rule effective 9 July 2026). Renewal required before expiry.

Penalties for false applications
補助金適正化法 (Act No. 179 of 1955): - Article 29: Obtaining a grant by deceit: "5年以下の懲役若しくは100万円以下の罰金又は両方" (up to 5 years' imprisonment and/or fine up to 1,000,000 yen). This is confirmed by the ものづくり公募要領 page. Source: [official] https://portal.monodukuri-hojo.jp/about.html - Articles 18, 19, 22, 32: Not retrieved in this pass. The e-Gov page (https://laws.e-gov.go.jp/law/314AC0000000014F) returned only the page shell (JS-rendered content not accessible to automated fetch). The Aichi prefecture PDF copy (https://www.pref.aichi.jp/uploaded/attachment/617179.pdf) was fetched but returned raw PDF binary, not readable text. Not found from a text-accessible official source in this pass.
Digital/AI subsidy points penalty: The 公募要領 for デジタル化・AI導入 states that firms selected with bonus points that then miss the bonus target will have their grant decision cancelled. The specific 18-month mark-down in other SME Agency subsidies cited in the outline's secondary source was not verified from an official source in this pass.
