Tokyo, Japan – July 1, 2026–

Selected for the Strategic Core Technology Advancement Program ("Go-Tech") of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), Government of Japan

AMS Planning, Inc. ("AMS"), a Hokkaido University-certified nuclear medicine infrastructure startup, today announced that it has established a non-dilutive capital framework to execute a ¥100 million (approximately US$0.7 million) technology development program through a combination of its selection as a funding candidate under Japan's Strategic Core Technology Advancement Program ("Go-Tech") and strategic financing from financial institutions.
Building on its US$2.2 million cumulative equity financing achieved through its May 2025 Pre-Series A round, AMS has now established a non-dilutive capital framework to execute a US$0.7 million technology development program, bringing the company's total capital base supporting growth initiatives to approximately US$3.0 million, without requiring additional equity issuance.
