Telexistence Wins the Prime Minister’s Award at the Japan Startup Awards 2025

/by

Telexistence Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo, CEO: Jin Tomioka) has been awarded the prestigious Prime Minister’s Award at the government-led Japan Startup Awards 2025.

The Japan Startup Awards is a government recognition program that celebrates entrepreneurs and startups creating impactful new businesses that serve as role models for the next generation.

Telexistence has been advancing the social implementation of robotics by providing operation services primarily to retail and logistics enterprises. This is achieved through the deployment of in-house developed multi-joint robots optimized for customer operations, combined with autonomous AI control and human remote operation.

In retail, Telexistence’s “GHOST” system has automated the majority of beverage shelf-stocking operations in convenience stores. In logistics, the company has realized automation of depalletizing tasks at SENKO Co., Ltd.’s Fukuoka XD facility through an entirely new approach—robots that are non-fixed and fence-free, unlike traditional methods.

Furthermore, by leveraging operational data collected from real-world deployments, Telexistence is accelerating the implementation of learning loops and autonomous recovery policies using VLA (Vision-Language-Action) frameworks, in collaboration with U.S.-based Physical Intelligence and Japan’s AIROA, among others.

The advancement of social implementation, the innovativeness of its technical approach, and its role model value were highly recognized, leading to Telexistence’s receipt of the prestigious Prime Minister’s Award at the Japan Startup Awards 2025.

Future Outlook

Since its founding, Telexistence has strived to deeply understand customer operations and accelerate the social implementation of robotics with a practical approach. Winning the Prime Minister’s Award at the Japan Startup Awards 2025 is a recognition of that journey and direction. We will further accelerate our efforts to redefine work through robotics.

As we continue this challenge, we are seeking professionals across a wide range of fields—including hardware and software engineers—who are eager to drive real-world change from the ground up. We look forward to applications from those who share our vision.
