We craft holistic, responsible, ethical and innovative AI-driven technologies.

Shirokuma specialises in AI, space sciences, smart cities and health tech. We carry out fundamental, long-term research and industry work to create the AI-driven systems that power new industries.

Our solutions can be deployed even in extreme environments, where connectivity is delayed or disrupted and applications run on resource-constrained assets.

Industries we work in

About us

Our mission is to build and advance research and AI applications in smart cities, digital twins, robotics systems, healthcare, space, government and any industry that needs smart, responsible and reliable AI.

What we do

Our experience spans AI applications in every industry. These are the areas where we go deepest.

AI for extreme environments

Systems that keep working when links are delayed or disrupted, with applications that run on resource-constrained hardware.

Private and sovereign AI

We use federated computation so models can learn from data without it leaving the organisation that owns it.

Efficient, reliable data links

We increase link and data efficiency, utilisation and robustness, giving you more usable bandwidth and faster AI inference.

Responsible AI

Our fellows pioneer ethical AI technologies, frameworks and practice, and we build those principles into every system we deliver.

AI maturity and adoption

We assess where your organisation stands with AI and plan the path to full adoption.

How we work

From technology discovery to full deployment, and the work that keeps it going afterwards.

  1. Design and planning

    We take you from the technology discovery phase through to a plan for full deployment.

  2. Research

    We drive new R&D so the AI suits your business needs and your data.

  3. Find a solution

    Our developers and scientists build and deploy your solution end to end.

  4. Reach a goal

    Continued engagement lets your business keep innovating and expanding its portfolio of solutions.
