Originally published in BusinessDesk here. 

Straker founder Grant Straker has just returned from a business trip to Japan, where he met with 28 of the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s largest companies.

The New Zealand tech company is being backed by US multinational IBM to win business in Japan, as more than 1,600 listed firms there seek solutions for a new listing requirement to provide market updates in English as well as Japanese.

Straker launched its answer for Japanese-listed companies, SwiftBridge AI, in March.

The Gisborne-headquartered company’s specialised small language model trained for Japanese financial reporting, Tiri-J, is integrated with IBM’s Watsonx's enterprise-grade infrastructure.

Straker also signed a deal with a major technology distribution partner, the Iguazu Corporation.

Niches for AIGrant Straker said artificial intelligence (AI) was both a threat and an opportunity.

Straker’s own business was a good example, he said. Internally, it was eliminating vendors as it developed its own solutions, harnessing the power of AI.

It was also building niche and market-specific AI solutions for its customers, targeting mid-market firms who didn’t want to invest in their own.

Grant Straker said rather than large language models, Straker could build smaller, specific language models for an industry or problem, then an application for the specific model, or the interface for the model, is added, with the ability to improve it continuously. “What we're doing in Japan is exactly that. There is a specific need for a model that can translate Japanese to English financial services data. It is integrated into the way that these large companies work on their releases to have a continual loop in there, so it gets better and solves a whole bunch of other things around that.  "That's the opportunity, and that's how we're applying what we see as the core technology change that we're going through. ”Invest in AIStraker will double its team in Japan as it tries to capitalise on the new English language regime. “It's a huge opportunity for us. Japan's an interesting market to be in. It's not a simple market. There's a lot goes on, but the opportunity out there at the moment is huge. Japan has recognised they have a population issue.  "They know that to get the productivity, they need to use AI. There is a big focus on it. ”Straker has about 170 staff globally, with about 60 in NZ, 24 in the US, 33 in Spain and 28 in the Philippines.

In June, Straker announced an integration with the AI automation platform n8n.

N8n has more than 230,000 active users globally and over 3,000 enterprise clients.

Users will get access to the new Straker Verify node, which means they can automatically trigger translations when new content is generated and maintain translation quality and compliance "at speed and scale". For the year to March 31, Straker reported $44.9 million revenue and adjusted earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation of $4.8m.

It had $12.9m in the bank, was profitable, and had invested $7.6m in research and development.

"ASX-listed Straker sees fertile ground in AI niches such as Japan's stock exchange shift"
