History
NOVIUS Corporation was founded in 2016 with a vision to create innovative technologies that connect people and information. Starting with digital signage for software and face recognition systems, we gained experience by working with major companies in Japan and developed unique expertise in AI-driven advertising and authentication.
In the following years, we successfully developed real-time AI security systems and groundbreaking glass-free 3D technology, converting 2D images into 3D instantly. Recognition grew further as we joined Microsoft for Startups, became an Intel® Alliance Partner, and launched joint research with Japan’s National Cancer Center Hospital.(No.10 Source:World’s Best Specialized Hospitals 2025 Oncology)
In 2023, we took a new step forward by starting research in Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and expanding globally with the establishment of our U.S. subsidiary in Delaware.
