Tenchijin’s Expansion into Southeast Asia Supported by Leave a Nest Co., Ltd.

 

Leave a Nest Co., Ltd. is a company known for promoting innovation and supporting startups through research and development in science and technology, as well as talent development. Tenchijin has been highly recognized for its technological capabilities by Leave a Nest and is receiving support for its expansion into Southeast Asia. Although Japan has many companies with advanced technologies, the reality is that many of them are unfamiliar with how to enter the Southeast Asian market. Leave a Nest is helping Japanese startups expand into Southeast Asia by utilizing local insights gained from their offices in Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines.

What is Singapore Week of Innovation and TeCHnology?

Singapore Week of Innovation and TeCHnology is one of Asia's largest conferences on innovation and technology. The 2024 event will take place from October 28 to 30 at Marina Bay Sands, a landmark of Singapore.

 

Leave a Nest Co., Ltd. is supporting the local exhibition of five selected Japanese startups by collaborating with local acceleration programs. Tenchijin will showcase  Tenchijin COMPASS KnoWaterleak at the booth, which enables the management and reuse of water leakage data..

Tenchijin COMPASS KnoWaterleak's Expansion into Asia

[caption id="attachment_5160" align="aligncenter" width="600"] The image above is a sample of Tenchijin COMPASS KnoWaterleak. The colored areas indicate locations where the risk of water pipe leakage is relatively high. The leakage risk is categorized into five levels, with red indicating the areas with the highest risk of leakage.[/caption]

 

Japan’s water maintenance industry is currently facing serious challenges, including aging infrastructure, the impact of climate change, and declining budget and workforce due to the shrinking and aging population. To address the growing issues in leak detection, Tenchijin has developed Tenchijin COMPASS KnoWaterleak, a solution that leverages data, information, and technology. Launched in Japan in 2023, it has been adopted by over 20 municipalities, including Tokyo, the nation’s capital, within just a year and a half (as of October 2024).

 

Many of these challenges are also common across Southeast Asian countries. To promote the efficient management of water resources worldwide, Tenchijin is expanding its reach into Asia and Europe.

The Strengths of Tenchijin COMPASS KnoWaterleak

Tenchijin COMPASS KnoWaterleak is a cloud-based mapping service that leverages satellite data and AI technology to support water utilities in improving the efficiency of their leak detection processes. It combines data from multiple satellites, open data, and digitized water supply ledgers and distribution pipe maps to analyze and pinpoint areas with high leakage risks within 100-meter blocks. With an intuitive and easy-to-use interface, it allows for centralized management of leak risk and on-site verification results. Users can quickly check data in real-time, supporting fast leak detection and repair planning.

 

By routinely registering and managing leakage locations within this system, AI can re-evaluate leakage risks based on the accumulated data, leading to improved accuracy. Through PoC with the Japanese government in 2022 and feedback from municipalities using the system, the service is expected to reduce inspection costs by up to 65% and survey time by up to 85%.

 

Tenchijin's technology has been recognized for its high level of expertise and low implementation barriers, earning the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare Prize 7th Infrastructure Maintenance Awards organized by Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, and Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications. Thanks to its reliability, the system is rapidly being adopted by municipalities across Japan.
