Japanese Telecom Giant Taps Israeli Startup For Generative AI  

A major Japanese telecommunications company has embarked on a strategic collaboration with an Israeli startup that uses AI to find patterns in data for problem-solving. 

The Tokyo-headquartered Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT), the fourth largest telecom company in the world, has partnered with Netanya-based SparkBeyond to include its AI analytics platform meant for problem-solving. 

The partnership was facilitated by NTT Innovation Laboratory Israel, a subsidiary of NTT that works to incorporate Israeli technology into NTT services.  

SparkBeyond’s platform generates data-driven ideas to find solutions for customers and avoid natural bias from human input. 

This is meant to give users an analytical foundation for their operations and facilitate decision-making. 

“The opportunity to join forces with the NTT Group and bring Generative-AI problem-solving to their global customer base shows the natural alignment of SparkBeyond’s technologies with NTT’s strategic priorities,” said Sergey Davidovich, president and co-founder of SparkBeyond. 

 “We look forward to this exciting collaboration and demonstrating the power of generative AI combined with enterprise data in driving client impact,” he said. 

“The NTT Innovation Lab in Israel was established to promote and find startups for collaborations and investments,” said Noa Asher, CEO of NTT Israel Innovation Lab. 

“SparkBeyond is an excellent and innovative company, we are excited to expand our partnership and keep introducing their technology to more companies around the world.”
