What Inspiration Plus does

Inspiration Plus Inc. (株式会社INSPIRATION PLUS) is a Japanese disaster management technology company founded in July 2022 and headquartered in Oita City, Oita Prefecture, with a team of 1-10 employees and 45,000,000 yen in capital. The company builds EDiSON (Earth Disaster Intelligent System & Operational Network), an information utilization platform that aggregates fragmented static and real-time data — including land, population, weather, water level, drone, satellite, and camera feeds — from central government, local municipalities, private companies, and research institutions, and applies AI and spatial analysis to produce 500-meter mesh-grid risk visualization and several-hour-ahead risk assessments. The platform runs on SAP HANA infrastructure and includes a generative AI business support module, a real-time alert system, an intelligent dashboard, and API-based integration with existing municipal disaster response systems.

The company's primary product is EDiSON itself; its sub-product PREIN is an external sales package derived from EDiSON, distributed nationwide to Japanese local governments through a 2021 sales and business collaboration with NTT Data Kansai. Inspiration Plus generates revenue through subscription-based SaaS contracts with Japanese local governments (基礎自治体) and regional authorities (広域自治体) for disaster risk management, evacuation timing, and inter-municipal coordination, and is positioning EDiSON for a secondary private-sector market targeting BCP, supply chain continuity, and employee evacuation use cases. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

The technology stack is anchored by a 2018 consortium with Oita University CERD (research), ZYNAS Corporation (implementation), and SAP Japan (platform infrastructure), with field trials conducted in Oita Prefecture from 2020 onward. Inspiration Plus differentiates through consortium-backed credibility, multi-source data integration across public and private organizations, and positioning as a domestic vendor in a market where Japan accounts for an estimated 35% of global disaster prevention spending.
