COMPANY STORY
Origin
Neural Pocket was started in 2018 by Mr. Shigematsu, a former business consultant at McKinsey & Company’s Tokyo, Frankfurt and Chicago offices. While AI has already been adopted in various industries, it has not been actively used in apparel and consumer fashion industry. Neural Pocket targeted the fashion and apparel industry as its beachhead market, and leveraged its proprietary AI algorithms to expand to other sectors such as smart city, real estate, advertising and retail. Neural Pocket has established a branch in Singapore and aims to be a global AI company.
