DeepX set out to expand its presence in the Japanese market by unveiling its mass-produced AI semiconductor, 'DX-M1,' alongside local partners at Japan's DX Week 2026. This exhibition was significant in that it went beyond simply showcasing product performance to presenting potential for local application by featuring partners in the telecommunications, IoT, and industrial equipment sectors.

DeepX participated in DX Week 2026, held at Tokyo Big Sight in Japan from April 8 to 10, and engaged in a joint exhibition with key Japanese partners. The company announced plans to use this event as an opportunity to expand its local cooperation network and accelerate business expansion in the Japanese market.

The company views the Japanese market as a region with growing demand for embedded IoT and autonomous robot control. Accordingly, it plans to expand its supply channels into the telecommunications and manufacturing sectors by leveraging edge AI semiconductors capable of processing AI computations on-site while enhancing power efficiency. The company explained that it is currently conducting business centered on its mass-produced product, the DX-M1, and plans to unveil a successor product line in the second half of the year.

Application cases from each partner company were also introduced at the exhibition. Koshida took on the role of expanding its reach with the Japanese telecommunications industry, while MSI showcased an AI Box based on the DX-M1 M.2 module. Sanshin showcased a Raspberry Pi-based edge AI and IoT camera demo at the Soracom booth, presenting directions for practical applications.

This exhibition focused on demonstrating how the chips can be applied to Japanese industrial sites rather than on the performance of the chips themselves. Considering the characteristics of the Japanese market, where demand for industrial equipment, communication devices, robots, and field-based IoT converges, a strategy was highlighted that presented modules, demo equipment, and partner networks together rather than individual semiconductor products.

DeepX announced that, in addition to the exhibition, it is also conducting visits to the headquarters of major Japanese manufacturers and promotions targeting local companies. CEO Kim Nok-won stated his intention to expand the adoption of edge AI solutions in Japan in conjunction with Korea-Japan industrial exchange activities. A DeepX official said, "Through our participation in this DX Week and the active efforts of our partners, we have once again proven DeepX's competitiveness in Japan's telecommunications and manufacturing industries," adding, "Based on close cooperation with major Japanese trading partners and efforts toward Korea-Japan industrial exchange through organizations such as KITA, we will aggressively expand the adoption of edge AI solutions in Japan."
