NVIDIA Inception Program and Final Aim
Final Aim provides "Final Design," a design and intellectual property (IP) management platform that supports new design development and IP rights management using generative AI.
Since its founding in 2019 and the establishment of its US headquarters in 2022, Final Aim has been introduced and received inquiries from top global companies across various industries, including four-wheeled vehicles, two-wheeled vehicles, heavy industry, home appliances, precision equipment, creative, entertainment, and fashion, such as Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd., Honda Motor Co., Ltd., and Panasonic Corporation, supporting the safe and secure utilization of generative AI.
Furthermore, Final Aim's initiatives in design and IP management, which utilize generative AI and GPUs, have been featured on the NVIDIA Developer Blog, and the company was invited to speak at NVIDIA GTC 2025 "DesignAI Live," receiving recognition from NVIDIA for its technical contributions.

Final Aim provides a platform that concretely realizes the "optimal way to utilize generative AI" in the customer's design and engineering process, while also incorporating IP management.
Recently, the company has been advancing efforts to develop and use generative AI models, guided by appropriate IP management. This includes not only selecting models suitable for different applications but also considering the potential for model optimization and tuning based on use cases and domain characteristics.
Achieving these goals requires close integration of complex technical elements, including an algorithmic-level understanding of continually evolving generative AI, the use of computing resources such as GPUs, and efficient optimization techniques to specific applications.
By incorporating this knowledge and practice into "Final Design," Final Aim aims to create an environment in which creators, designers, and engineers can use AI with confidence and more efficiently arrive at their ideal concepts.
Regarding the certification as a partner company, Hiroaki Kawata, CTO of Final Aim, commented as follows:
“The recent evolution of AI is overwhelming, and along with it, I strongly feel the increasing demand for higher computational resources and technical understanding. About 20 years ago, I was greatly shocked by the processing capability that enabled the high-speed completion of calculations that had previously been difficult, leveraging GPUs' programmable pipelines. Today, GPU evolution continues to accelerate, making GPUs indispensable for the high-speed execution of large-scale computations, such as AI model training and inference. In this situation, I am extremely encouraged and delighted to be able to advance development and reflect it in our products while receiving extensive support through the NVIDIA Inception Program.”
Final Aim will maximize the technical and business support gained through the NVIDIA Inception Program to address design and IP challenges in the era of generative AI, and further accelerate product and technology development for the global market.
